FIFTY PERCENT OFF BOOK SALE PRICES JULY 6 AND 7<\/p>\n

All items at the CFOL book sales on July 6 and 7 will be discounted 50%.\u00a0 That includes items for sale at the members-only sale on Friday, July 6 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm as well as at the regular sale open to the general public on\u00a0Saturday morning, 9:00 am to 11:30 am.\u00a0 With this deep discount off CFOL’s already low prices, shoppers won’t be able to resist the many bargains of books, magazines, media, and other items.<\/p>\n

Books are also available for sale\u00a0 in the library’s lobby at fifty cents per item whenever the library is open. \u00a0There are no better bargains for book lovers.<\/p>\n

Book sale hours will not be affected by the changes detailed below.<\/p>\n

NEW LIBRARY HOURS BEGIN JULY 25<\/p>\n

Due to a reduction in library funding in the Butte County budget for the 2018-19 fiscal year, 5 out of 6 of the library branches in the Butte County Library System will have open hours cut.\u00a0 The Chico branch will open one hour later and close one hour earlier Tuesdays through Saurdays.\u00a0 On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays the Chico branch will open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m.\u00a0 Fridays and Saturdays the branch will open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m.\u00a0 Sunday’s schedule remains unchanged, opening from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.\u00a0 The Chico branch library will remain closed on Mondays.\u00a0 For schedule changes at other Butte County Library branches, consult the Butte County Library<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Book sale hours will not be affected by these changes.<\/p>\n

Cuts to the County’s library budget will also severely curtail funds for ebooks and online databases such as the popular and useful auto repair manuals.\u00a0 Only $500 county-wide will be provided for materials and books.<\/p>\n

SUMMER READING PROGRAMS CONTINUE<\/p>\n

During June and July an array of activities designed to encourage reading and literacy emphasize the joy of reading for all ages.\u00a0 Children and teens earn a free book by engaging in reading, games, crafts, and other activities, while adults can participate in reading challenges of various kinds.\u00a0 The summer theme, Reading Takes You Everywhere<\/strong>, is illustrated by lists of books available in the Butte County Library System related to various countries and regions on the large wall map near the reference desk.\u00a0 \u00a0Special guest presentations<\/a> are scheduled during the summer.\u00a0 Your CFOL is providing\u00a0 funding to supplement support from the Butte County Library system.\u00a0 It’s not too late to visit the Chico branch library to learn more and sign up.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CFOL SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR THE CHICO BRANCH LIBRARY<\/p>\n

Your CFOL purchases books and materials for the library averaging $6000 monthly .\u00a0 In light of the severely limited County budget for new books, materials, and supplies ($500 monthly for all branches to share), the importance of these purchases cannot be overstated.\u00a0 This is the financial resource to fulfill patrons’ purchase suggestions as well as meet other library needs.\u00a0 Book sale profits, benefactor donations, and CFOL membership fees provide these funds.\u00a0 While books purchased by the CFOL are designated as “belonging” to the Chico branch, they are available to all Butte County Library branches through the inter-branch borrowing system.<\/p>\n

On your next visit to the library, stop by the children’s Room to admire the four new chairs provided by your CFOL.\u00a0 Our childen’s librarians report that they are colorful, attractive, and comfortable.<\/p>\n

New book carts have also been funded by your CFOL.\u00a0 They are also colorful, functional, and smooth-rolling.\u00a0 Carts are a library necessity, as a substantial proportion of staff and volunteer time is spent moving books from place to place within the library.<\/p>\n

Your CFOL pays for the annual license fee that makes the Sunday afternoon movies possible.\u00a0 Join the fun at 2:00 p.m. each Sunday except holiday weekends in the library’s meeting room.<\/p>\n

Help your CFOL support the Chico branch library by becoming a library or CFOL volunteer.\u00a0 Additional volunteers are always welcome to help with the book sales.\u00a0 Library volunteers perform many tasks within the library.\u00a0 See Oliver Allen at the Reference Desk for more information and for an application.<\/p>\n
