The South Lake Tahoe Friends of the Library raises funds that are used to purchase books and other materials, including DVDs, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and newspapers.

​We provide strong support to children and teen events, especially the Summer Reading Program and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. We were instrumental through a PAC in securing an ongoing parcel tax which provides additional funding for the library so that we can retain current hours and staffing. Our community is supportive of our efforts, and we encourage their membership and involvement.
​

Our Board of Directors meets every other month on the third Wednesday (beginning in January). The board meets at 1 pm in the Conference Room of the library, with all meetings open to the public, and participation is encouraged. Chapter elections are held in November.

Three used book sales are held each year, normally in March, July or August, and November, in the Library Conference Room. The sale runs from 10 am until 3 pm with members allowed in for an early bird sale at 9 am and a chance to win a free bag of books. Books are also available in the library lobby year-round.

Funds are raised for the library through memberships, book sales, and donations.   We also sponsor a book club, which meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 3 pm in the Library Conference Room.

In addition to the children and teen programs, we sponsor adult programs featuring a variety of speakers and performances, generally held on the fourth Tuesday of each month.  For additional information on meetings, programs, and special events, please get more information on the  El Dorado Library website’s calendar.
