FEATURED STORIES

Folsom
City Council Proclamation of Recognition and Appreciation for Nellie Loo
The Folsom City Council issued a formal proclamation of Recognition
and Appreciation for the volunteer work of Nellie Loo.
Loo, a longtime member of the
Friends of Folsom Public Library and champion of library services,
Loo has managed the group’s fund-raising activities since 2002.
After she joined the library
group in 2001, she accepted the role of managing a book sale to help
raise money for the library. That small book sale became a much
larger endeavor.
Throughout the year, 53
volunteers prepare the collections for sale. Books donated by Folsom
residents are a mainstay of the group’s fundraising activities. Loo
also manages the Booktique, a small bookstore in the library
compound.
Book fairs and Booktique
sales have generated $160,000 in donations to the library’s programs
and special needs, according to a press release issued by the
Friends of the Folsom Public Library
