Storyteller Needed for Loomis Library Pre-School Story Time
Do you love literature and love passing on the excitement of reading to young children? Then you maybe just who we are looking for! The Loomis Library needs a volunteer story teller for our Pre-School Story Time Program. You would join a team of three other storytellers, rounding out the team to a total of four. You would be responsible for reading books and leading a short craft project one Friday a month from 10:30-11:00 at the Loomis Library. This is a team that works well together, exchanges ideas, and they help each other trade days if there is a scheduling conflict.

Historical Society Program - Loomis' Citrus Colony & Its English Colonists
In 1888, thirty-four local landowners organized the Placer County Citrus Colony, encompassing more than 7,500 acres in the western part of the Loomis Basin. Then came the colonists, families from England, bringing with them their English gentry culture and pastimes. In its short but colorful history, the colony left a permanent mark on the local landscape: the roads, the palm trees, and the development of the town of Loomis itself. Presented by local historians Ed Horton and Barbara Leak.
