Friends of the Library
Introduction:
The Silverado Library unofficially opened in 1929 when Elsie McClelland, the postmistress, added a few shelves to the log cabin Post Office, and Margaret Morrison, the County Librarian, provided a gift of 60 books. The following year, 1930, the Silverado Library was officially accepted into the County of Orange Library System and in 1964 the library moved to it’s current location in the Silverado Shopping Center.
Our Library survives with a combination of County funding, individual donations and fundraising. Many residents, who appreciate the benefits of having a Library available do not realize that the Inter-Canyon League Friends of the Silverado Library pay for much of the services and activities enjoyed by patrons.
Last year, the Friends spent nearly $7,000 on books, audio books, DVDs, C/Ds and children’s reading programs. Friend’s have many fundraisers throughout the year that include a pet vaccination clinic, a swap meet, the Library Tea Room & Boutique held at the Silverado Country Fair and The Holiday Fundraiser in December.
