Join our fundraising effort...
Opening the doors to the new Atascadero Library requires a major fundraising effort. We are always looking for new ideas and more volunteers to make it happen.

Help us with our Book Sale...

The Friends of the Library Book Sale is held on the second Saturday of the even-numbered months. Volunteers are needed to help with the setup and during the Book Sale.
