As many of you know, our bookmobile service was eliminated in one of the first rounds of budget cuts that the county is facing. However, we received some fantastic news last month. Bill Parker, developer of Serrano in El Dorado Hills and a great library supporter, offered a challenge to the community to get the Bookmobile on the road again. His donation of $10,000 per year for three years will allow us to restore one day a week service – but there is a catch. We must match his offer and raise an additional $10,000 each year. Our Friends of the Library groups are hardworking and generous people who will try to meet the challenge. If you can help, please send donations to the El Dorado County Library Bookmobile Fund, 345 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667. We are going to try to get back on the road as soon as we can.
