The Friends of the Coronado Center Library (FOCCL) is finally able to hold a much needed fundraiser this year after being postponed the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has caused a deficit in the funding that the group needs and uses to help keep the library in good shape. The Library is also in search of volunteers who are able to donate their time to help keep the library in tip top order. If you are interested in volunteering contact the Library or head to the Friends of the Coronado Center Library website here: 
There may be some confusion reguarding what was the upcoming election of Board of Director members that was scheduled. Due to some shifts in eligibility of Hot Springs Village Board of Directors candidates there will be NO formal ballot sent to any members for this upcoming term elections. The number of candidates equals the number of open positions on the Board. Therefore, pursuant to the Bylaws the official election will not take place. The eligible candidates will be declared elected on a future date that has yet to be determined. The terms of these future Board Members will start in April of 2022.
