​About The Pacifics:
​
The Pacifics is a young library supporters group founded in 2022 by David Maloof and Chloé Moissis. We are a vibrant group of young and engaged San Franciscans who are passionate about the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) and their community. We host events and parties to connect new people to the Library, celebrate books through our community through book clubs and literary events, and volunteer at branches and in the community. Get involved! Join the Pacifics email list to learn about our upcoming events.

The name of the group, beyond referencing The Pacific Ocean that hugs the west side of San Francisco, also has a historical connection to the San Francisco Public Library. The first public library in San Francisco was located in Pacific Hall. ​

We aspire to create a community of book lovers that supports  the library in all of its future endeavors. We look forward to meeting you!

Lindsay Wilson: Lindsay grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and volunteered at her local library as a Teen Volunteer. She loves being able to give back to an institution that has given her so much.
