Gifts to the Library

During the quarter ending December 31st, 2017, the Friends provided a total of $10,940 to the Library. $9,989 of this was for the purchase of books and other materials. In addition, we provided $635 for movie licensing fees to support the Based on the Book film series and $336 to the Library’s Hospitality Fund, which is used for professional and technical staff meetings. This brings our total gifts for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 to $15,241. Funds for these gifts come from book store and internet sales and from the proceeds from our regular book sales; from membership dues above the basic level; and from donations, including memorial donations; and from the sale of the 2018 Children’s Art Calendar. Thanks to all of our supporters for making these gifts possible. 

Serendipity reaches $500,000 in sales!

Frances with booksFRL’s Serendipity Book Store has achieved $500,000 in sales! The Friends of the Redwood Libraries wish to thank our wonderful customers, members, volunteers, our generous community and the library for supporting the bookstore. Serendipity Book Store is located on the second floor of the Eureka branch library at 1313 Third St., Eureka, and is open during library hours, closing 30 minutes before the library closes.

Serendipity was founded in October, 1999, by the Friends under the guidance of treasured volunteer Frances Rapin and is staffed with a dedicated team of volunteers. New titles are added frequently, so stock is never predictable and always interesting. Check our Serendipity page for more information on hours and our donation policies.

The Friends’ mission is to support the Humboldt County Library system. Money generated by store sales supports book purchases, the biennial Authors Festival, and enrichment programs for children in the community. Please consider a volunteer position with the Friends of the Redwood Libraries!

Community Service Award 2014

FRL 2014 COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD GOES TO THE WOMEN OF CENTRAL OFFICE—THE COPY CENTER

Whenever the need arises to solve a problem or get a design idea for our printing projects we go to Terry, Lynette and Terri at The Central Office—the Copy Center, in Eureka, and we are never disappointed.

Terry Davis and Lynette Worthington have run of The Central Office for over 27 years. Terry and Lynette bought the office 14 years ago, and Terri Vanderhoff has been part of the team for all of those years.

While we at the Friends of the Redwood Libraries like to think we are “the favored ones”, we also know that these fabulous women are there to help all local organizations and businesses with their printing, be it brochures, newsletters, calendars (yes, our Children’s Art Calendar), and all printing projects.

We are proud and happy to present the FRL Community Service Award to The Women of Central Office—The Copy Center.
