Welcome!

Richard Anderson, the new Nevada County Supervisor from Truckee, recently stated that attracting greater business activity to Donner Summit and the possible expansion of the Truckee Library are two salient issues [which need] tackling in the coming year.

Our public library is now open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The gradual economic recovery has made it possible to reinstate weekend hours at the Library. Thanks to the Library staff and the community members who kept asking.

Excitement is in the air!

The ambitious project to build a new library in Truckee is being directed by a special committee, which has taken several recent actions:

» Adopted a campaign name - "Truckee Library Campaign: Build a Library, Strengthen a Community" and developed a new logo to represent the campaign. The logo has been printed on large canvas book bags which are available for purchase at the Library.

» Continued to explore options for potential sites in Truckee for a new library.

» Contracted with a Sacramento based consulting firm, for a feasibility study.

» Presentations to local service clubs and several public meetings.

» Gathered input from the community, town officials, and local leaders.

If you are interested in joining the Building for Books committee to help with planning a new public library for our town, please contact Seana Doherty or email truckeefol@gmail.com.

If you would like to have the Friends make a presentation at your organization or would like to donate to the new library planning efforts, please contact Ruth Hall at 587-7499.

If you have additional ideas or comments you'd like to share with the Friends, please send us an email: truckeefol@gmail.com .
