As an early Valentine’s Day gift to local residents, Rancho Cordova Library will re-open its doors with a community-wide celebration beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 13 at 9845 Folsom Boulevard, Sacramento. The free family festivities will include formal remarks from elected and library officials, a face painter, a magic show, a classical string-music trio, a Friends of Rancho Cordova Library book sale, and light refreshments.
The library branch has been closed since October 26 for refurbishment and renovation. Among the building’s new features are a “just for teens” area with four new computers, new lounge space with comfy furniture and an expanded view of the landscaped patio, colorful new carpet, an enhanced children’s area, more catalog computers and expanded self-check opportunities. Two large book drops have also been added for customer convenience. In addition, the staff workroom has been renovated through a generous bequest from a passionate library volunteer and member of the Rancho Cordova Friends of the Library, Anne Richardson.
