Dear Friends of the EDH Library- Thank you to all of this year’s donors! We appreciate your support of one of our community’s most valuable resources, the El Dorado Hills Library.
We are excited to announce that the campaign generated 28 new members including 8 new Lifetime members. We raised almost $30K to fund new programs and the purchase of new books of all genres for all ages.
Soon we will be reaching out to our members to gather ideas on how we can continue to make the El Dorado Hills Library an educational and literary gem for our community. Details will be announced soon.
Did you forget to donate? It is not too late. We appreciate your financial gifts year-round.

Help us keep up with the growing demand for resources of alL ages
Donations from Friends and other community members are the fail-safe that enables the El Dorado Hills Library to meet the continually increasing demands for all ages. Used book sales are thriving, but their profits are not enough to cover all the extra funds necessary to meet the expanding needs of our community. Every new home in El Dorado Hills represents potential new users.
