As libraries remain closed throughout most, if not all, of the pandemic, Nevada County branches continue to offer enrichment opportunities for young people up to 18 years old.

Meanwhile, Hannum says the Otaku Club, that’s been around quite a few years, but still can’t meet in-person, is now on the library’s Discord.

It’s a zoom program that focuses on different art materials and techniques.
