Pacifica Library Advisory Committee highlights community engagement and upcoming events

During the Pacifica City Council meeting on May 27, 2025, the Library Advisory Committee (LAC) presented a comprehensive overview of their activities and future plans, emphasizing community engagement and transparency. The committee, which includes youth members and representatives from various local organizations, aims to enhance library services and outreach.

The LAC highlighted its commitment to open meetings and community involvement, noting that they have been actively working to revive awareness of library projects that had been put on hold during the pandemic. Monthly meetings, compliant with the Brown Act, have allowed for public participation and feedback on library initiatives.

Key achievements from the past year included the development of a strategic outreach plan, updates to the library's website, and the creation of engaging materials for community events. The committee also launched a successful campaign to design bookmarks and stickers, celebrating the love for libraries, with winners from various age groups recognized for their creativity.

Looking ahead, the LAC plans to participate in several community events, including Coast Pride, farmer's markets, and the Fourth of July Celebration, to further promote library services. They also announced upcoming tours of the Sharp Park Library, aiming to increase public interest and involvement.

The meeting underscored the LAC's dedication to fostering a strong connection between the library and the Pacifica community, ensuring that residents are informed and engaged with library developments. As the committee continues its outreach efforts, it remains focused on enhancing the library experience for all constituents.
