Hello & Welcome to the Costa Mesa Library Foundation

Let’s build a Central Library for Costa Mesa!

Fundraiser @ Taco Rosa

Taco Rosa has graciously offered to hold a culinary demonstration (by Ivan Calderon!) and Tequila tasting on Saturday July 31st @ 3:00pm on behalf of the Costa Mesa Library Foundation. Reservations are preferred as seating is limited, so please call ahead if you can join us for a fun afternoon. A few free books will be given away to the largest group in attendance and a portion of the proceeds will benefit our goal of building a new library in Costa Mesa. See the official flyer

Barnes & Noble Bookfair Details:

Step 1: FIND SOMETHING TO BUY!

Of course the usual book purchases apply, but did you know that your purchases from the in-store Starbucks count (including coffee, pastry’s, and any other food items). You can also buy items from the CD/DVD section.

Step 2: COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE.

If you are shopping in Costa Mesa, you just need to mention the Costa Mesa Library Foundation when you make your purchase. If you visit another B&N store in CA, make sure you print out a flyer ahead of time or can recite our bookfair ID (#10008878) by memory (bonus points for memorization!). Seriously, you can have your friends and family who live close to a B&N in another city help our cause by shopping with a flyer on the days of our event. Don’t need anything for yourself our a loved one? Buy a gift for a needy child and the Costa Mesa Library Foundation will donate your titles to a worth cause like SOS.

Step 3: REPEAT!

We know B&N may not be on your destination list everyday, but why not stop in for coffee one morning, a few books the next evening and slip some Christmas shopping in over the weekend.

Got Kids Ages 4-11? They boy do we have a treat for you. On Saturday, November 7th, notable children’s author, Gillian Lee Kutshing, will be sharing her latest stories from 2-3pm. This event will be held in the children’s section upstairs and should not be missed. This event would not be complete without Sparky the Wonder Fish.
