Take Out Only During 2-Week Freeze

11/13/2020

LAKEVIEW, Ore.—November 13, 2020—All Lake County Library District locations will be closed to the public during the 2-Week Freeze November 18 through December 2, 2020. Virtual and Take Out services will be available. Library patrons can still place holds online and via telephone as well as check items out through Library Take Out. Library WiFi signal will still be available outside the building.
 
Book drops will also be emptied and materials checked in during the closure. No overdue fines will be charged. The Main Library meeting room will not be available for public use during the closure. Online services such as downloadable e-books and audio books remain available at all times.
 
“With infection numbers increasing across the state and within our county, we felt Take Out Only was the appropriate service level for the 2-Week Freeze,” said Library Director Amy Hutchinson. “This decision was made to protect the health of our communities and our library staff,” said Hutchinson. It is possible Take Out Only service could be extended beyond December 2, depending on advice from public health officials.
 
During the facility closure, hours for Take Out and virtual services remain unchanged from current operational hours: Main Library – Lakeview Tuesdays through Fridays from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturdays 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM; Christmas Valley Branch Library Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM; Paisley  Branch Library Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM; and Silver Lake Branch Library Mondays from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

Imagine Your Story Art Contest

11/4/2020

​LAKEVIEW, Ore.—November 4, 2020— Summer Reading Program may be over, but the fun is not! Kindergarten through 12th grade students are challenged to create art to Imagine Your Story. Early art entries will receive a free 2020 Summer Reading Program shirt while supplies last. Entries will be accepted at the Main Library starting Tuesday, November 7, 2020.
 
By the time the pandemic hit in March, most Summer Reading Program supplies had already been purchased, including tee shirts to give away to promote the program. The library had to completely redesign the program to accommodate public health restrictions, which meant strict limits on in-person program attendance, and no big events at the schools. This left the library with too many shirts on their backs.

“We thought an art contest would be a fun way to distribute the extra shirts,” said Library Director Amy Hutchinson. “Students who enter an artwork in the Imagine Your Story theme can receive a free shirt while supplies last” said Hutchinson. Artworks will be displayed for at least one month at the Main Library, where they can be enjoyed by the community.
 
For questions about the art contest, please contact Youth Library Assistant David Lev at davidl@lakecountylibrary.org or 541-947-6019. ​
