What does Amicus mean?
What we wanted in a name is something that could both describe what we valued about life, and what we valued about books and writing. The name Amicus is a latin word, from which our english words “amicable” and “amiable” are derived. Also very similar in origin is the extremely popular spanish word, “amigos.” In short, Amicus represents our goal of offering the spirit of friendship and interaction through reading and writing, through our attitudes and actions toward the Yuba City, Marysville community.
