An Update for the Palisades Community

Dear Friends of the Palisades Library,

It is hard to believe that several months have passed since the fire that devastated our community and destroyed our library. While it is still difficult to fathom how much has been lost, we have also begun to understand just how much remains: The spirit of resilience and the desire to reconnect and rebuild is strong.

There is some progress to report. The Army Corps of Engineers beat their own deadline to clear the debris at the library and completed the work in only six days. Plans are also being made for a temporary library in the Palisades while LAPL begins the planning process for rebuilding our beautiful library.

Concurrent with the progress in the Palisades, we’ve actively begun soliciting feedback from community members on what they’d like to see in the new library. If you would like to share your thoughts, please click here to complete a short survey. We will make sure that our community’s feedback is integral to the rebuilding process.

We are sincerely touched that even in the midst of dealing with so much loss, patrons of the library and members of the Friends have been reaching out and offering their support. We could not be more grateful for all of you who have visited our membership and donation page to renew your support of our organization and the Palisades Library.

Thank you.

Laura Schneider, President
Pacific Palisades Library Association
