Friends of Fallbrook Library

Friends of the Fallbrook Library is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the enrichment and enhancement of the Fallbrook Branch of the San Diego County Library.   


Organized and incorporated in 1963, we are one of the most active Friends groups in San Diego County.
Friends is administered by a dedicated board of volunteers as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and solely relies on fund raising to subsidize library programs that benefit the Fallbrook community and surrounding North San Diego County residents.

1. We operate the Bottom Shelf Bookstore.
2. We provide volunteers to assist the library staff.
3, We provide financial support  for Children’s Programs, Art Exhibits Music Concerts, Book Clubs and Health and Wellness events.

Keep your community in mind, please keep Friends in mind as a “must support” on your list of annual charitable donations. Thank you.
