FOL History
Over thirty years ago, a small group of people joined together to form the Friends of the West Hollywood Library (FOL). Our goal was to help the Library provide the best possible service to a community of writers, artists, business people, school children, home-bound sick and elderly and everyone who loves books. Three of the original founders are still active members of the group, and we are now a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.

What We Do
The FOL strives to help the West Hollywood Library in every way we can. Through our on-going Used Book Sale at the Library and through our Annual Fall Book and Bake Sale (now held in conjunction with the award-winning Annual West Hollywood Book Fair, Fall Into Reading) and Spring Book Sale as well as through memberships, dues and donations, we are able to raise money to give to the Library for much-needed items that are not covered in its allotted LA County budget.

These items include, among other things: purchasing books, videotapes, DVDs and books-on-tape not available through the County Library's collection; subsidizing children's special programming, summer reading programs and essay contests; funding library displays, adult cultural programs and book and film discussions.

In addition, we actively encourage our members and others to support legislative action on behalf of the Library and to support the City of West Hollywood's efforts to build a much-needed new library for our community.
