In 1960, the Laguna Beach Friends of the Library was formed to promote library use and support the functions of the library including financial and volunteer support. The Friends group has helped make improvements on the grounds, including the mural that is currently set up in the children's section. A selection of books, DVDs and audiobooks has been also been added to the collection thanks to funding raised by the Friends. The Friends also holds events like a book discussion group every 2nd Saturday of the month, and refreshments are served. Membership to the friends of Laguna Beach library is less than $2 per month.
