For more than 40 years, the mission of the Friends
of the Crowell Public Library, City of San Marino has been to raise
money that the library can use to supplement the allocation from the City,
allowing it to keep its collections up-to-date and provide special services
it would otherwise be unable to afford.
- In the last few years, the friends have generously
provided the following:
- All of the children's books, large print books, books recorded
on tape, videos, and compact discs in the library.
- Many of the new circulating adult fiction and non-fiction books.
- Most of the Asian books, newspapers, and magazines in the library.
- Cataloging services and tools that have helped the library
get its new books on the shelves faster.
- Annual support for the Summer Reading Program
that encourages kids to read all summer, summer programs and prizes.
The Friends also support staff development by funding staff attendance
at library conferences, consultants, and workshops.
The Friends' Board of Directors meets monthly, conducts an annual membership
drive, runs a used Book Shoppe in the Library auditorium, and holds periodic
book sales and rare book auctions to boost the amount of money we can
give to the library. Books to be sold are culled from the collection and
donated throughout the year by local residents.
