Be sure to take time to see the new exhibits on the lower level of the library (in the hallway and also in the Children's Room) the next time you're in. The El Dorado doll collectors' club, an affiliate of The United Federation of Doll Clubs, Inc., has set up some wonderful displays of dolls and the books they're based on, such as
Eloise, Raggedy Ann and Andy, The Legend of the Bluebonnet, and Hitty: Her First Hundred Years.

Young people can become part of the UFDC Junior Collectors organization. You can download an application at their website.
