PGPL Friends and Foundation named the City’s Volunteer Organization of the Year!

A tremendous honor for the Friends and Foundation! At an awards luncheon held April 29 at Chautauqua Hall, the Friends and Foundation was recognized for its dedicated support of our Library and its many contributions, both monetary and in volunteer hours. Library Director Rachel Gaither praised our organization for its generosity in providing resources that help the Library serve and strengthen the community.  Friends and Foundation President Kim Bui accepted the award, thanking the Mayor and City Council, and praising the Library as a vital part of the city of Pacific Grove and a place where the community has been welcomed and upheld for more than 100 years.

Thank you, members, donors and supporters, for your generous giving of time and money that enables the Friends and Foundation to fulfill this important role for our Library.
