The Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library (SRFOL) exists to support the operation of the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center. The SRFOL, through volunteer services, assists library patrons, hosts special events, operates a used book store (Grace's Book Nook), and provides financial support for acquisitions and community activities.

The SRFOL is an officially chartered, §501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization. As such, donations made to the SRFOL are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law under Internal Revenue Service tax regulations.

Please feel free to explore this web site to learn about the services provided by the SRFOL and by the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center itself.

Our library is now 30 years old! Join us for a fun, free celebration hosted by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library (SRFOL)! We'll have lawn games and activities for children, teens, and adults. Plus, there's food and desserts for you and your family to partake. You can sign the Anniversary Banner and write a note about your favorite library memory. Plus, the first 30 kids (under 18) will receive a gift certificate for one free children's or young adult book from Grace's Book Nook.

We'll recognize and announce the student winners of our Essay Contest at 10:30 AM. And, you will have the opportunity to see the upcoming Idea Lab which will be opening soon. It is the Library's newest addition funded by the SRFOL and matching funds. At the Lab you will be able to produce your own creativity via a 3D printer, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, and multimedia laptop.

A library is not just for kids. It's for our own fun, adult (21+) celebration, with food, drink, and a live band, as well! Let's party under the Stars! All library-loving adults who'd like to party with us and celebrate our wonderful library are welcome to attend our Country Living Celebration under the Stars, hosted by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library.

The event will include a delicious barbecue dinner and dessert plus wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages (2 complimentary drink tickets will be provided; purchase additional tickets onsite). "Those Guys" band, led by Scripps Ranch's own Jerry O'Mara, will play in the courtyard for our listening and dancing (if we dare!) pleasure. Take advantage of the opportunity for a preview tour of the new Idea Lab which will open soon to the public (once the Lab is open, you will be able to produce your own creativity via a 3D printer, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, and multimedia laptop), stop by the Memory Table, sign the Anniversary Banner, and participate in the Scavenger Hunt (prizes will be awarded!). Then capture the memory at the Photo Booth.

There is no charge for this event; however space is limited, so advance registration is required by emailing president@srfol.org by Wednesday, October 4. No tickets will be sold at the door.
