Hi Friends. We had our quarterly Library Advisory Meeting Wednesday at the Paradise Library. It was well attended by staff, Paradise Friends of the Library, Butte County Supervisor Doug Teeter, and the wonderful artist of our Nursery Rhyme themed mural Steve Ferchaud. I did a mini dedication that was recorded and hopefully I will be able to view soon. I was definitely choked up a handful of times as this mural has been a long time coming. I dedicated it to my Aunt Charlotte aka Aunt Cookie (Julianna Beckmann Gosling, Cynthia Gosling, Stephanie Gosling, Geo Gosling) and Judy Leigh Winder, a beautiful volunteer that we lost last year. Mother Goose is based on Judy and the little boy is based on one of our wonderful patrons Carter Angus. I did write a letter explaining all of this that I will send to my Aunt, of couse with photos 🥰 Thank you so much to all that attended and of course thank you to Steve for working tirelessly to accomplish this vision.

We have our monthly Book Sale tomorrow, Saturday April 18, 2026, 10 am to 2 pm, with our proceeds going to the Paradise Chocolate Fest coming up May 9, 2026. We will be selling a coloring page of this mural for $5. Proceeds go to supporting our local library! I will be dressed in my Alice in Wonderland themed attire. Come by for a photo 📸
