The Foundation for Monterey County Free Libraries was founded with the goal of supporting vital enhancement programs for the Monterey County Free Libraries. In 1989, Mark Massel left a $100,000 bequest to the county libraries. The head librarian at the time, Dallas Shaffer, had a vision of using the funds to create an institution that would support the local libraries for years to come.
