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.

Please be advised that, in order to improve service, the SRFOL website [www.srfol.org] will be moving to a new Internet Service Provider during the period from December 22 to January 1. We regret that the website will be unavailable during the changeover. During the transition, please direct questions regarding library services to library staff by calling the library at 858-538-8158. After the transition, the website's URL [www.srfol.org] will be unchanged.

Book Discussion Group

The traditional potluck dinner meeting will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, December 4, during which time books for 2020 will be selected. Come prepared to suggest a couple of your favorite titles, and bring a dish to share. Looking ahead, the book for January, chosen at last year's event, will be The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen.

Music Program

On Sunday, December 15, at 2:30 pm, the "Pleasure of Your Company" music series welcomes back the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Choir, known for inspirational and uplifting performances. Their program will include traditional and contemporary spirituals and gospel music as well as some spirituals of the season. Meet the musicians at a complimentary post-concert reception. There is no charge for the concert, sponsored by Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library (SRFOL), although donations are appreciated.
