LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – “New Books for the New Year” will be on display through Jan. 5 at all branches of the Lake County Library.

The library invites the public to browse and check out more than 500 new books and DVDs that were purchased with $8,500 from the Friends of the Lake County Library.

The Friends of the Lake County Library raised the money through a capital campaign fundraiser earlier this year.

All branches of the Lake County Library will receive books and other items from this new collection. New items include children’s books, audio books, DVDs, large print fiction and non-fiction adults.
