Pacific Grove Books uses the power of story to capture and preserve the features of our unique culture and community. Through stories inspired by or written about life in Pacific Grove, our writers chronicle its rich history and build a bridge to a future that promotes communal spirit and harmony. By experiencing life in the Pacific Grove Sanctuary by-the-Sea, visiting writers learn about small-town life firsthand, hone their skills by meeting and working with local authors and editors, and build connections by penning stories that inform, entertain, and enlighten. Proceeds from all book sales benefit the Pacific Grove Public Library Friends and Foundation and are designated for the historic preservation of Pacific Grove documents and memorabilia.
