LIBRARY AID TELETHON TO AIR FEBRUARY 20
Grass-roots effort to raise $100,000 to offset budget deficit
NCTV and Nevada County Friends of the Library are producing a 6-hour telethon Sat., Feb. 20th, 3-9 pm, broadcast on Comcast channel 11, Suddenlink channel 16 or simulcast live www.nevadacountytv.org.
The goal of the telethon is to raise $100,000 to help the Nevada County Public Library system with its current budget deficit in order to keep library services local and intact.
Programming will include readings from the locally published book “Open to All: What the Library Means to Me”, interviews with local favorites Gary Snyder, Steve Sanfield, and Meg Palley, as well as musical groups including “The Anderson Family”. Premiums will be offered, challenges will be issued and segments highlighting various library programs will also be shown. Pledge forms are available on line from the Friends of the Library website. Volunteers are needed! Please contact Lew Sitzer, 478-1174 or Paul Minicucci, 478-6000 x249.
The Nevada County Reads steering committee has selected Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson as the "County Read" for 2010. Several events and activities are planned around the county in February and March to highlight this book and the historical context of the treatment of Japanese Americans in our country during World War II. Click on the above link for all the details. A performance of Snow Falling on Cedars benefiting the Friends of the Nevada County Libraries will take place March 26, 2010, 8 pm at the Nevada Theatre.

What the Library Means to Me
In the fall of 2005 Molly Fisk, Steve Sanfield, and Steve Fjeldsted invited friends and users of the Nevada County Library system to submit personal memoirs, stories, poems, essays, photos or drawings about their experiences with libraries, past and present, for incusion in this memorable anthology.
This collection showcases work from such luminaries as Gary Snyder, Utah Phillips, Ray Bradbury, and Anne Lamott, among many others.
This fundraising effort is available for purchase for $16.00 in support of book buying for all libraries in the Nevada County Library System.
