More about our libraries
Libraries are proven to return dividends by raising the profiles of the communities they serve, including income, education, labor market, employment and quality of life. And despite the emergence of the Internet — and sometimes because of it — libraries will continue to do so.
Public libraries serve all ages, from toddler to senior citizens, rich and poor, equally. They serve employers and employees alike.
These are some of the reasons that two volunteer, nonprofit organizations are working for our present —and future — libraries. The Friends of the Costa Mesa Libraries supports our three Costa Mesa branches of the Orange County Public Library. This past year the group provided more than $85,000 in books and supplies, programming and new equipment to these libraries.
