near the entrance of Morro Bay Harbor. Central Coast Women for
Fisheries has been working to raise funds for the larger-than-life-size
bronze sculpture of a woman and two children looking out to sea. Titled
“Those Who Wait,” it is dedicated to the families
of fishermen who wait on shore.

Who is John Kim and
why
did we name a room after him?
John
Kim, who lives in Los Osos, built our current Library building.
In
1982, the Morro Bay Library outgrew the space that it occupied at 410
Morro Bay Boulevard – in a converted pool room.
Jude Sanner, who began work in 1975 as Assistant Librarian,
struck up a conversation one day with Mr Kim at the circulation desk.
He told her that he could build a new structure to house the
overflowing materials.
Jude put him in touch with
the Morro Bay
Friends of the Library and they reached agreement over a handshake
– Mr Kim told Don and Jane Bailey that if they raised
$125,000, he would build them a library.
