Friends of the Library Suggested Sites In July 2016 members of the Hermosa Beach Police Department staff were tasked with examining all city-owned facilities to determine the feasibility of relocating Friends of the Library (FOL). Below are the results: 1. Community Center: There are several options for FOL at the Community Center. One option would be to locate a suitable room inside the Community Center for them to occupy. A second option would be to place an additional (20 or 40 foot?) foot storage facility on or about the Community Center property. There are several suitable locations in the parking lot at the Community Center to place a storage facility which would have to be coordinated with the stake holders. (As a side note: having the FOL at the Community Center could have a positive effect for the citizens that utilize the senior center there.) 2. Hermosa Self-Storage Parking Lot: Place a storage facility in the public parking area of Hermosa Self-Storage, which is city owned. There would be the secondary effect of losing public parking spaces. 3. City Hall Parking Area: Place a storage facility in the City Hall parking area near the County Library. There would be the secondary effect of losing public parking spaces. 4. South Park*: There are several classrooms on the west side of the park that could be utilized for the FOL. Also, there are several locations in the west parking area that could be suitable for placement of a cargo container which would have to be coordinated with the stake holders. 5. Clark Stadium: There are several possible locations that may be suitable for placement of a cargo container for the FOL. Exact placement at the location would have to be coordinated with the stake holders. POSSIBLE LOCATIONS FOR FOL DEEMED INCOMPATABLE*: 1. Noble Park (14th and The Strand): incompatible with this park. 2. Fort Lots of Fun (6th and Prospect): Incompatible with this park/playground. 3. North School (417 25th Street): Upcoming remodel/repurposing pending. 4. Rodaway Park (4th and Prospect): Incompatible with basketball courts. 5. Greenwood Park (Aviation and PCH): Traffic and compatibility issues. 6. Seaview Park (19th and Prospect): Incompatible with this park/playground. 7. Valley Park (Valley Drive and 27th Street): Incompatible with this park. Access issues for FOL customers. 8. Kate Etow Park (Herondo and Monterey): Incompatible with this park. *FOL indicate they need to be close to the County Library for logistical reasons.
