Say Goodbye to Pleasant Hill Library and Get a Bookend starting June 1-20

Submitted by the Event Organizer

As we look forward to the construction of the new Pleasant Hill Library, They have prepared for the final closure of the old library on June 3 at 6 p.m.

The building at 1750 Oak Park has served the Pleasant Hill community well since opening to the public in 1961. So many people have made lasting memories beneath its light-filled rotunda. Now it’s time to bid farewell and we invite you to say goodbye, too.

Starting June 1, a “farewell trellis” will be set up on the patio of the library. Everyone is invited to come and leave a goodbye message, tie a ribbon, a balloon, or a paper flower. For everyone’s safety, please bring your own string, stapler or tape to attach items to the trellis. The colorful display of offerings will be visible from the street, but we encourage you to take a photo and post online to spread the sentiment. #PHLfarewell

While you’re at the library you may also pick up a classic yellow bookend. They have been sanitized and will be on the library patio. The bookends have graced the shelves for over half a century. They can serve as mementos and we hope one will find a new home on your shelf. We’d love to see you decorate a bookend with paint, yarn, or stickers and post to social media. #PHLfarewell

The trellis and bookends will be available June 1 through 20. Come by to show your love, leave an offering, and take a piece of the old library home.
