The mission of the Placerville Friends of the Library is
• to support the library, their patrons, and staff
• to support the library with community outreach programs, services, and facilities
• to enrich the lives of Placerville residents by advocating the use of our library
• to support our library through fundraising efforts, which include memberships,
book sales, gifts, and endowments
We are a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization supporting our community library. Funds raised by the Friends are used to purchase books and to support its educational programs. Unlike the other libraries in El Dorado County, the Placerville Main Library receives no specific direct tax support. It must rely on the Friends of the Library to provide the services patrons need—which makes it that much more critical to its success.

Board meetings are held at the library and the public is welcome. Come and learn about what we do and how you can support the library. Please contact the library to confirm meeting times and dates.
We are looking for volunteers to help in a variety of ways:
And more! Please contact Paula Freeman if you are interested.
NOTE: The Friends of the Library online payment processing system is experiencing an unexpected, temporary outage. We are treating this with the highest priority as the inability to process donations and member dues through our website is a major blow to our fundraising capability.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Payments may be made by mailing or delivering a check to:
Friends of the Placerville Library
345 Fair Lane
Placerville, CA 95667
Thank you for your support. We will continue to provide updates here as we work toward a resolution.
