On September 3rd, Linda Derosier, our own Community Outreach Director, was honored by the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills with its 2022 Community Volunteer Award. Congratulation, Linda! [September 2022]
FOLL nominated Library Director Kathryn Hunt for the 2023 “I Love My Librarian” award sponsored by the American Library Association. Each year, up to ten librarians are selected for this award, which comes with a $5,000 cash award. Thank you, Kathryn, for all you do to ensure Lincoln has access to a wealth of programs, events, services, and a robust collection of books and other materials. Awards will be announced in January 2023. [September 2022]
At the Fowler Ranch Farmer’s Market on August 28th, we were able to make contact with so many people from Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville – it was an amazing turnout for the first children’s day at this market. Our Plinko game was never still and we almost ran out of prizes! This little girl was so proud of her new library card, she just had to take it out of her purse and show us. Thanks to Denise and Kristen Fowler for planning this fun day. [August 2022]
FOLL Board and FOLL members showed their support and appreciation of the Lincoln Hills Foundation by attending its August 25th Bingo event. All had a good time and two of our group were bingo winners – FOLL President Jo Jones and FOLL Membership Director Linda Morley. [August 2022]
FOLL volunteers were again promoting the library at the August 26th Summer Concert in the Plaza. We gave away free books and DVD prizes to children playing our Plinko game, gained a new member to FOLL, and spread the word about library card holder benefits. Shout out to the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce for putting on this community event. [August 2022]
Library Director Kathryn Hunt joined our FOLL duo, Linda Derosier and Linda Morley, at McBean Park for Lincoln’s National Night Out. Those who visited our booth learned about all the Lincoln Public Library has to offer and how FOLL helps make this happen. Some even received their library cards. [August 2022]
Saturday, July 30th, FOLL was again promoting the library at Beermanns Plaza — this time at the Back to School Bash 2022. We enjoy sharing our love of the library and all the library has to offer community. Look for us at future community events. [July 2022
At the July 26 Lincoln City Council meeting, Community Outreach Director Linda Derosier and Hospitality Director Whitney Eklund made a presentation on FOLL’s activities and presented the City of Lincoln with a check for $5,000 for staff time devoted to Mother Goose on the Loose and Family Movie Night programs.

FOLL volunteers had a great time sharing information about our wonderful library at the June 17 Summer Concert in the Park that was held in Beerman’s Plaza. Little and big kids alike enjoyed playing Plinko for a chance to win a book, book bag and other prizes. [June 2022]
Our June BIG Book Sale was hugely successful, thanks to the wonderful Lincoln community. The one-day sale earned $1,200, which will, of course, help the Lincoln Public Library. We are so grateful to the many book sale volunteers who make this popular event possible. Our next Big Book Sale will be in November. But you can shop our daily book sale area any time the Library is open for a great selection of fiction, nonfiction, children’s books and other media. [June 2022]
