Although our library display cases are often used to publicize important community services and agencies, we sometimes have space for a special exhibit of items from our own library patrons’ personal collections. In the past few months we have displayed baseball gloves, music boxes, Hopi Indian dolls, Lewis and Clark memorabilia, and gourd art. If you have a special collection of objects that you might like to share with others, please call or stop by the library and let us know. Displays are changed monthly at our Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, South Lake Tahoe and Main/Placerville libraries.

Taking a Book Ordering Break
Wondering why the library hasn’t ordered a new book by your favorite author? It may be because it’s that time of year again. Our county fiscal year ends on June 30 and starts with a new budget on July 1. The fiscal employees in all of the departments work extra hard to wrap up the old year and sort out our end-of-year finances. While one year changes into the next, the library needs to stop the invoices from coming in, and the best way to do that is to stop ordering books and DVDs for about six weeks. Our book budget will be smaller next year, but we still hope to be able to purchase many of the titles you are waiting for as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

If You Visited the Library at the Fair...
If you visited the library's booth at the El Dorado County Fair and picked up a "Catch the Reading Bug" flyer, remember to fill it out and bring it to any El Dorado County Library by July 31st for a chance to win a digital camera, an MP3 player or a $50 gift certificate for Sequoia Restaurant!

Lost Bookmark
A Cameron Park patron left two pieces of white rice paper (each 5 inches x 7 inches). There is a small red bamboo imprint on left bottom corner with chinese writing in black ink. One says "T'ai Chi", the other says "Jamie Willsun". These are of sentimental value to our patron and she hopes they will be returned. Please call Cameron Park Branch Library if found. (530-621-5500)
