Help Create the Future of the Library

Have you taken the library's survey yet? If not, please do so now! The survey is available until end of the day TODAY!
Also, plan to take part in the virtual public workshop on Wednesday, November 3, from 6:00-7:00 pm on Zoom. Log in information can be found on the library webpage. According to City Librarian Angelica Fortin, “One of the strengths of a public library is its responsiveness to evolving community needs. Our community’s feedback is key in helping us design a future for the Paso Robles City Library that includes supportive collections, programs, and resources.”

Call for Display Proposals

The Paso Robles City Library encourages the artistic and cultural interests of the community by providing space in the Library to display visual art and other exhibits of interest to the public. The Library Board of Trustees reviews proposals annually to select displays for the following year. The duration of the displays is usually one month.

Library display guidelines and application are available online at www.prcity.com and in the library. Photographic representations of the work to be displayed must be provided, either delivered with the application or emailed to Don Rader, drader@prcity.com for online submissions. Proposals will be accepted no later than December 3, 2021.
