Stop by the Friends of the Library meeting to learn more about the ways the Friends, and you, support the Library. The Friends meet every other month starting in January, host large book sales three times a year as well as ongoing lobby book sales, and are fantastic advocates for the important role libraries play in our communities. They also host a monthly speaker series -- stop by the meeting to see how you can be involved!

* Please note that the May meeting has been changed to May 14th, with a special meeting time of 12-2 pm. Sponsored by Friends of the Library.

Join us at our poetry group, Thursdays at Two. The group meets every 1st & 3rd Thursday at 2:00 here at the library. Patterned after the popular Placerville group, Tuesdays at Two, the Georgetown Library version will be led by Taylor Graham, EDC Poet Laureate from 2016 - 2018. If you love poetry, write poetry, or dream about writing poetry, this group is for you! Assigned subjects will be offered to write poems about and then the poems are brought back to the group. This is not really a critique process but reading poems aloud to the group is a good way to hear what's working and what isn't. Participants also read from a list of established poets or bring poetry to share. There is also a 'word can'. Everyone pulls a word or phrase from the can and then uses them to write a poem in 10-15 minutes. This produces some strange and wild stuff and a lot of laughter!!!!

Join the Friends of the Library for a screening and discussion of Free For All: The Public Library on Saturday, May 17 at 2 pm. Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Screening will be followed by a panel discussion. Sponsored by Friends of the Library.
