"Let's meet up at the library!"

The annual Dixon Studio Tour features more than just artists. It's a chance for visitors to get to know the community of Dixon, and the Embudo Valley Library plays a big role here. 

"I think because we're in a small town the library is more prominent than it would be in a bigger community or city," explains Library Director Felicity Fonseca. "There is no other institution or public space that can offer the wifi, or the copy, fax, and notary—or the programming. Because we're in a rural place, the services aren't available elsewhere in the community."

Founded by community members in 1992, today's library resources fill a spacious, light-filled building in the heart of Dixon. The library has more than 17,000 books, magazines and newspapers, computers, comfortable reading nooks, a seed library, a public gathering space, and more.

The Library has remained open with limited occupancy and social distancing guidelines during Covid, safely serving our rural community. This trailer introduces you to the multifaceted beauty and value of the Embudo Valley Library, our homegrown gem that’s shared by all.

We invite you to visit our website, DixonArts.org, during the weekend of November 7th and 8th to support both the library, the artists, and all of the organizations that make up the community of Dixon. Welcome!
