What We Stand For

Join the Movement

Our advocacy work grows stronger through partnership. We connect with community members, organizations, and leaders who share a commitment to literacy, free access to information, and the vital role of public libraries.

Together, we build relationships, expand our reach, and support efforts that strengthen our communities and protect the values libraries represent.

We invite individuals and organizations to join us in advancing the mission of Monterey County Free Libraries and ensuring access, opportunity, and knowledge for all.

Our Allies

InterLibrary Loan

Do you love that you can order and receive library materials from almost any library in the country? If your local library doesn't have a book you want, you can order it through interlibrary loan. This program is largely funded and made possible through the Institute of Museum and Library Services. You will probably lose access to this service if IMLS funding is cut!
