Four of SCFOL's dedicated volunteers, Christine Khouri, Jaxon Cox, and Debbie & Dan Pittman, were honored at the Friends of the San Diego Public Library's annual membership meeting held on June 14, 2025. Their time, energy, and enthusiasm help make our monthly book sales a success. We're so grateful for all they do! 
When the weather gets too hot, remember that the San Carlos Branch Library is air conditioned and a designated COOL zone. It's a great time to go browsing among the books and lower your body temperature for an hour or two or join in one of our programs. 
Participants can read books and complete activities to win prizes. Prizes can be picked up at the library through August or while supplies last.
