New web address
 
Please note that we have a new web address, thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Redwood Libraries, which has provided a web home for branch Friends of the library groups.  Look for us at  www.eurekafrl.org/fortuna or by clicking the Friends link at the library home page. The Friends appreciate FRL's generous donation of time to maintain the web site.
