New web address
Please note that we have a new web address, thanks to the generosity
of the Humboldt Library Foundation, which has provided a web
home for branch Friends of the library groups. Look for
us at www.humboldtlibraryfoundation.org/Fortuna
or by clicking the Friends link at the library home
page. The Friends appreciate Casey Meaden's generous donation
of her time and talent to maintain the web site.
News
Preserving our new books has been high on the Friends' list of
projects, and thanks to capable volunteers, clear plastic laminate
has been applied to lengthen the lifespan of most of the new
acquisitions for our shelves.
Visitors to the library will find a new supply of red totes printed
with the Friends' bookworm. Liberry Preserves are available
also, and all sales benefit the library. Check the display
at the circulation desk.
