The Annual Spring Seminar
succesfully took place on May 31!
Thanks go to the many volunteers who make this event a reality. And a special thanks goes to Diane Maltase who managed the most of the planning of the event. The planning for it started last year.
Did you take any photos during the event?
If yes, please consider providing them to Root Cellar. They will br archived and may appear in some of our publications and publicity. Email any photo files to treasurer@rootcellar.org. Thank you. Volunteers Needed
As an all-volunteer organization, we offer various opportunities for those willing to help. You can serve at the Orangevale Library once a month, scan donated materials at your convenience, or assist in organizing volunteers. We're also looking for participants in a project at the Center for Sacramento History. If you're interested in meeting new people, contact us at: info@rootcellar.org.
Visit the Root Cellar Library
The Library is located at the California State Archives, 1020 O Street, on the fourth floor. It is open 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. We have over 6,200 books on our shelves. These include all 50 states plus foreign countries, such as Ireland, England, and Germany.
And there’s more…The library has a special sharing program called “50/50”. Let’s say there is a book you would like to use in your research. You have checked our online catalog and we do not have the book. You can purchase the book, do your research, and then donate the book to the Root Cellar Library. In turn, the library reimburses you 50% of your purchase cost. Just think, you accomplish your research goal and in return for donating the book you receive money back! Great deal for you and your library. Just donate the book and show proof of purchase with a receipt and receive a check from the library. It is a WIN-WIN for all! Need more information? Contact Carolee Jones at library@rootcellar.org.
