Our History
Foundational Programming In 2006 three friends, Roberta Gisea, Joyce Martin, and Mary Jo Cooney were inspired to find a way to help the libraries in Rosarito, and "The Friends of the Library (FOL)" came into being.
In 2007, the group established a Board of Directors with Joyce Martin as President of the Friends of the Library’s first board. Our board continues to this day and now consists of 11 board members.
You can explore our fascinating programming history here, but fast forward to today and you find that through our innovative reading programs, we lend books to almost 4000 children each year. And through the children, we reach their families, including parents and grandparents. Once excited about reading, there is no end to what they can do. Thus our motto: Read today...for a quality life tomorrow.
