Meeting Schedule and Annual Meeting Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the “corporate” Friends of the Library board meets regularly throughout the year for work related to governing the organization as a whole. It also offers one Annual Meeting for all members of all Friends of the Library chapters to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOL members from all chapters are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting. This is your opportunity to vote for the officers of the County organization and hear about the activities of all Chapters. Good ideas will be shared by those who share your enthusiasm for supporting our Library system. You have the opportunity to ensure the future of the El Dorado County Library through the Friends of the Library. Your involvement will enable the library to enrich lives by fostering a lifelong love of reading, discovery, and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
