Four residents from Folsom participated in a contest with Jeff Kinney, the author of the "Wimpy Kid" book series. The event, sponsored by Wild Sisters Book Company in Sacramento, was part of a promotional tour for Kinney's recent book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: No Brainer." The contest resulted in a $1,850 donation to the Folsom Public Library. In a statement regarding the donation, Kinney emphasized the importance of libraries in supporting community development. The 'Wimpy Kid' series has been a mainstay in the library's top 10 youth books since 2007 and has been adapted into films and a musical.
