We’re pleased to announce we’ve been selected by the Peninsula Friends of the Library (PFL) to work on its new marketing campaign.  The PFL raises funds for the Palos Verdes Library District to ensure the library can continue to offer first-class programs, expanded hours and reference librarians at all three PVLD branches (the main library in Rolling Hills Estates, Malaga Cove Library in Palos Verdes Estates and Miraleste Library in Rancho Palos Verdes).

Fran and I are particularly excited to work with PFL because we are library lovers.  Fran has wonderful memories of bringing her daughter to the gorgeous Cerritos Library.  My first job was at the Bacon Free Library in South Natick, Mass.  I was 10.  I begged the librarians to hire me. I spent my Saturdays reshelving books (and hanging out in the mystery section pouring over the next Agatha Christie to check out), covering books in cellophane, and checking out books.  At the Bacon Free, everyone knows their library card number… it’s one of the many charms of the library. (I’m A278!)

Check back with us in September. We should have samples posted of PFL’s new marketing materials.  In the meantime, if you’re local, go visit one of the PVLD branches.  You’ll love them.  And, join the Friends organization of your local library…they’re worth it.
