Founded over 50 years ago the FOL has helped groups in the community, mostly through book donations. Some of the organizations this year include but are not limited to: The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley, Books4Classrooms, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Paula Senior Festival, For the Troops, Girl Scouts, Santa Paula High School and The Optimist Club. Continued support of the Blanchard Community Library is made possible through book sales from the Book Mart (inside the library) the popular 1st Saturday Books Sale  donations and FOL memberships. Membership starts at $10.
