Subject: CFOL: July Update
Hello, Chico Friends of the Library members, and Happy Independence Day!
The First Friday booksale is on July bth, this Friday. As most of you know the members-only book sale is called the First
Friday book sale because it is always held on the first Friday of the month ... unless a holiday closes the library on a
Friday or Saturday. So come browse in the good company of other CFOL members and volunteers, without having to
elbow the crowd out of the way. We have new and classic fiction, popular authors and little known, cook books, history
books, children's books, movies, etc.
Gvad news! The library will hat be closing on Mondays, as we thought it would be. The Chico City Council, suffering
from a severe shortage of funds, did vote to reduce funding by $32,000. Our librarian made a new schedule with
Mondays closed, and notified staff of their new schedule. However! Two Butte County Supervisors stepped forward
and convinced the rest of the Supervisors to increase the Library Dept. funding by $32,000. Chico library Mondays were
saved I We have Supervisors Larry Wahl and Maureen Kirk to thank for this good news.
And, finally the library renovation is virtually finished. Come see the new flooring and the clean, open appearance. The
Internet computers have a new home. Fven the work room has new carpeting. Hallelujah!
As always, thank you for your donations and volunteer time.
Regards,
Chico Friends of the Library
