We are, thanks to Julianne Bancroft Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Library Hours Julianne grew up in Rossmoor and spent most of her free time at the library (pre-remodel, when the Monday -Thursday front door faced east toward the back of what was 10 am – 7 pm then the theater). She and her husband have three daughters who always participated in the summer Closed Friday reading program, first as readers and later as teen volunteers. When the Friends put out a call for a Saturday 9 am – 5 pm secretary, she decided to give something back to the library that had given so much to her and her Closed Sunday family, and stepped up.

President’s Message – Del Clark Hello Friends, Congrats to children’s librarian, Katie Dietzman, and staff for another smashing Summer Extravaganza! More than 1,000 kids and teens enjoyed the bonanza of activities including: book logs; animal, balloon, juggling shows; crafts; story-times; and featuring “Showtime/ Movies”. Also, FOL’s summer book sale was a hit as hundreds of books were sold at bargain prices! Huge kudos go to our twin Book Store & Sales “Wonder Women”, Frieda Wray and Mary Holzgang and their army of volunteers whose efforts create FOL’s primary income stream! Exciting activities and programs are planned for the fall so say tuned! Happy Reading! Relax and Read! Automatic Renewals Come to OCPL …Head Librarian Semra BIssel It’s here and now. It’s great to announce that since July 16th if you have items checked out, don’t worry about remembering the date to return them. They will now be automatically renewed for you on their due date. Materials will be renewed up to five times! This can save you time in trying to remember the date of when you have to return materials that you checked out. The exceptions will be if items have holds, Interlibrary Loans, items checked out to homebound patrons, Lucky Day books, and if a patron is blocked. These are not eligible for renewals. Just a reminder though that charges will still apply for lost/damaged materials, items returned late after the fifth renewal, and items returned late that were ineligible for renewal. The notification that is sent to you will list the items renewed for you so that you are aware and the items that were ineligible for renewal will also be listed. The text message says that items were renewed and please check your account. If you are ever not sure about items on your library card or have any questions, please feel free to call the Los Alamitos/Rossmoor Library at 562-430-1048. Wanted! Wanted! Volunteers The Library can use assistance with numerous tasks including but not limited to doing shelf checks of items from lists/reports, preparation for craft programs, paper cutting projects, activity prep assistance, display designing, book trough work, magazines or newspapers organization, and many more exciting tasks and duties. All adult volunteers must pass a background check before volunteering work starts. For anyone interested in volunteer working in the Library, please come by the Library or call the Library at 562-430-1048 for more details. We’ll look forward to hearing from you soon.

Here in Rossmoor , I’ve seen three—one on Montecito, one in Kempton Park and one on Martha Ann. I’ve been told there is one on Silver Fox just south of Walker Lee and one on Yellowtail. Also College Park East has one on Heather Street. The one on the left is on the website below as being located at 2752 Copa de Oro. Todd Herbert Bol (January 2, 1956 – October 18, 2018) was the creator and founder of Little Free Library, a global public bookcase nonprofit organization. In 2009, he used wood from his old garage door to make the first library-on-a-stick as a tribute to his mother, who had been a schoolteacher. According to Wikipedia, as of 2016, the project had expanded to include Little Free Libraries in 85 countries. According to a 2018 article, there are now more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries in 88 countries. From the website, littlefreelibrary.org, comes this information: Our staff is dedicated to increasing book access and forging community connections. We help people around the world start and maintain Little Free Library book exchanges. Watch the adjacent video to get a 30-second introduction to how Little Free Libraries work, and how you can start one, too! We provide support to our volunteer Little Free Library stewards by providing free Library building instructions, online resources and ongoing support from Little Free Library staff, access to free or discounted books through our partners, and an online store that offers Library kits and pre-built Library models. We also maintain a world map of registered Little Free Libraries to help people find and share books wherever they are, and we donate Little Free Libraries to communities where books are scarce through our Impact Library Program. If you know of other Little Free Libraries or how they came to be in our area, feel free to email me, Deb L, at [email protected].
