Friends of the Truckee Library

Come see us at Truckee Thursdays tomorrow!

Friends of the Truckee Library will be there sharing updates on the new Truckee Regional Library and ways to get involved.

Stop by our booth to ask questions, grab info, and learn how this community-powered project is moving forward.

The new Truckee Regional Library has support from more than 40 local nonprofits and agencies, including California State Parks.

Why? Because this project is about more than books. It’s about creating flexible, accessible community space for the people and organizations who serve Truckee every day.

“We share an interest in fostering learning opportunities, access to information and resources, and a place where our community can gather. With more flexible space, the library can develop partnerships to meet the growing demands of fields such as technology, healthcare, education, and outdoor recreation.”

A great library helps a whole community learn, connect, and grow.

Summer event season is here, and Friends of the Truckee Library needs volunteers.

We’ll be out in the community sharing updates about the new library, answering questions, and helping build support for this important project.

Upcoming volunteer opportunities include:

June 18: Truckee Thursdays
June 20: Truckee Tahoe Family Air Show
June 28: Tahoe Donner Community Expo
August 6: Truckee Thursdays

Volunteers help with setup, booth staffing, talking with community members, and teardown. Students are eligible to receive volunteer service hours.

A grassroots movement starts with everyday people.

It grows from neighbors, families, students, educators, volunteers, and community members who care enough to step up and help create change from the ground up.

That is exactly what is happening with the new Truckee Library.

This project is being powered by people across our community who believe Truckee deserves a welcoming, flexible, future-ready library. From student-led fundraisers to school auctions, volunteer booths, community workshops, and local advocacy, support is building one person at a time.

Still picturing a library as just rows of books and whispering?

Modern libraries do a whole lot more.

They support early learning, provide access to technology, host programs and meetings, create space for connection, and help people find the resources they need.

That is why the future Truckee Library matters. It is not just a new building. It is an investment in a flexible, welcoming community resource designed for the way Truckee lives, learns, and gathers.

Friends of the Truckee Library is honored to be a beneficiary of Tahoe Truckee Waldorf School’s Best Little Auction in the West.

This online auction features local experiences, handmade goods, ski passes, Tahoe treasures, and more, all supporting literacy, education, and community connection.

Proceeds benefit both Tahoe Truckee Waldorf School and Friends of the Truckee Library.

The auction opened May 27 and runs for two weeks only. New items will be added throughout the auction, so keep checking back.

A little spring fun is waiting in the kids’ room 🌷

Stop by the Truckee Library for the Spring Baby Animals Scavenger Hunt. Kids can search the room for all 8 baby animal photos, check them off as they go, and collect a prize when they’re done.

It’s a sweet, simple way to explore the library, spend some time with books, and keep little ones busy on a spring day.
