It must rely on the Friends of the Library to provide the services patrons need\u2014which makes it that much more critical to its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/friendsofplacervillelibrary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook page<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to sign up for membership, click the button below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button a:hover {color: #ffffff !important; text-decoration:underline !important;}\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/eldoradolibraryfriends.org\/test\/placerville-membership-fundraiser\/\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;background-color:#0e4a91\">Become a Member<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to make a donation without membership, click the button below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/eldoradolibraryfriends.org\/test\/placerville-donation-fundraiser\/\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;background-color:#0e4a91\">Donate<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Board Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Board meetings are held at the library and the public is welcome.
