Encourage volunteers to support library services.
History
Library
Casa de Oro library was founded in 1962. Neighbors were excited to have this vital addition to the community. Just 2,000 square feet, circulation at that time was 20,000 items annually. To accommodate the growing collection and usage, the library first moved to Campo Road in 2002 and then again in 2007 to the current strip mall site of 6,300 square feet.
Friends of Casa de Oro Library
Originally founded in 1985, the Friends was active for decades supporting the library with used book sales and other activities. Reinvented in 2019 by community members who sought to invigorate the organization, the group is actively engaged in advocating for the new, larger, free-standing library facility as well as providing traditional fundraising and volunteer support.
