Message from the President

Construction on the new library started at the end of April.  It was a great moment, finally we are seeing the progress that we have been looking forward to for so long.

Work on the construction is progressing well - right now it looks more like destruction - but soon we should be able to see the architectural plans taking shape.  We are living exciting library times!

The Rocklin Friends are working on organizing a fundraiser for the Grand Opening Day Library Collection.  We are just starting our work and we will keep everybody apprised of our progress.

When the new library is ready to be occupied, there will be plenty of opportunity for volunteer work:  moving, landscaping, organizing, fundraising, etc.  We can make this library a community effort that everybody will be proud of.

Francine Yorde, President
