Palisades Library Bookstore Grand Opening Ceremony

Friends of the Palisades Library will host the Palisades Library Bookstore Grand Opening and Open House on Saturday, September 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Palisades Branch Library, 861 Alma Real Dr.

The Grand Opening ceremony will take place at 11:30 a.m. on the large patio of the Library. Special guests will include Mike Bonin, councilmember for District 11; Chris Spitz, president of the Pacific Palisades Community Council; and, officials from Los Angeles Public Library (to be confirmed) as well as members of Friends of the Palisades Library board.

Refreshments will be served from 11 a.m. to noon on the large patio. Free coupons will be given away throughout the day to everyone coming into the Library and can be redeemed for any book in the bookstore. One free book per guest.

The Bookstore opened its doors on the Library’s small patio on July 1. In addition to selling gently used hardbacks and paperbacks in fiction, various non-fiction and children’s categories, the store also carries books on CD, music CD’s and DVD’s. Inventory is added to the store on a weekly basis. The regular parking lot book sales continue as usual.

The store will expand its hours starting in September. New hours will be Monday through Friday 1-5 p.m. and Saturdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Proceeds from the Bookstore are donated to the Branch Library to help purchase books, books on CD, research material and many other items that our branch would not otherwise be able to offer. Money raised from the parking lot book sales also benefit the Branch.
