Larry La Clair Publishes First NovelThe Lake County Library District is pleased to host local author Larry LaClair for a reading and book signing at the Main Library in Lakeview at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. La Clair will be reading from, talking about, and signing his book Simon Sees, a romantic thriller about a very invasive and persistent stalker Simon Proctor. READ MORE BELOW THE FLYER...  LaClair is a 15 year Army veteran as well as a Corrections Officer for over 12 years. He first started writing short stories to share with his family and friends. Although this is his first novel, a few of his short stories were published locally by “The Writers of the Purple Sage”.
Drawing on his life experiences before, during and after his careers in Corrections and Military Intelligence he was able to bring the story of Lincoln County to life. He’s traveled through 48 of the 50 states, Canada, Central America and Europe. He’s worked at NSA, was a crew member on reconnaissance aircraft, military linguist and instructor. Among the many odd jobs in his life are College Bursar, furniture mover, accounting, assistant to carpet layers and roofers, paperboy and Western Union telegram deliverer. An avid traveler and people watcher, but not the Simon Proctor kind, he hopes to bring you along on this journey. This free public program is suitable for adults. LaClair will read from his book and offer a short question and answer session before signing books. Copies of books will be available for purchase at the event. For more information about this program, please contact Library Director Amy Hutchinson at 541-947-6019 or amyh@lakecountylibrary.org. Connect with the author at L.L.LaClairAuthor@gmail.com.

“I am very pleased to have taken this first step on the road to a future library facility to serve the Christmas Valley area. People in North Lake have been very patient in waiting for attention to their facility needs from myself and the library board,’”said Amy Hutchinson, Library Director. Hutchinson also emphasized there are many more steps to complete before a new facility will become a reality. Next steps include developing preliminary cost models for construction and operation of a new, and then determining how to raise the additional money needed both for construction and operation of a larger facility. Additionally, there is a variety of interior finish work on the Main Library in Lakeview still to be completed. You can read a copy of the full needs assessment online at For questions about the assessment or more information about the library, contact Library Director Amy Hutchinson at 541-947-6019 or amyh@lakecountylibrary.org.

LAKEVIEW, Ore.—July 1, 2018— Join a lively community conversation around words and images shared by Lake County residents reflecting on what is special about our landscape. Conversations begin at 6 PM on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at the Paisley Community Hall; Wednesday, July 25th at the Alger Theater in Lakeview; and Thursday, July 26th at the Christmas Valley Community Center. READ MORE BELOW FLYER...  The Rural Voices on a Changing Land project will arrive at a unique community description of the land and what you see changing using words that are specific to the people of Lake County. At the conversations, you will see images and stories shared by others already and help capture what is unique to Lake County in our own words.
A partnership of Friends of Lake County Library, Lake County Library District, Lake County Resources Initiative, and PLAYA, supported by Oregon Cultural Trust, the Rural Voices project brought the My Lake County Landscape photography shows to Lakeview, Paisley, and Christmas Valley earlier this year, and will soon be launching an interactive map website to collect even more pictures and ideas from Lake County residents. Questions about the project may be sent to Library Director Amy Hutchinson at 541-947-6019 or amyh@lakecountylibrary.org.
Are you ready to rock out at this year’s Summer Reading Program at the Lake County Libraries? Registration begins the week of June 25th, and the library is excited to present every registrant in the programs with a new book for their summer reading pleasure as well as free child pass and a two-for-one adult admission to the 2018 Oregon State Fair.
The Paisley Program, at the Community Center, will start Tuesday, June 26th at 9:30 am for elementary-age (Preschool through 6th grade). The North Lake Program, at the Christmas Valley Library will also start Tuesday, June 26th at 2:00pm for Preschool-6 and 4 pm for the teens. The Lakeview Program, at the Main Library, will start Wednesday, June 27th at 2pm for the teens and Thursday, June 28th for K-6 at 10:00am and 2:00pm. Preschool story times will continue at the Main Library on Wednesdays at 10:00am. In our “Libraries Rock!” program this summer children will enjoy songs, games, crafts, stories, snacks, and activities like making their own instruments and playing with the gross but fun Oobleck! Lakeview’s own Randy Dary will play and sing, storyteller Christopher Leebrick will tell stories from around the world, and the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History will bring us their program “Oregon Rocks!” all about local geology. In the teen program, participants will have a chance to pick out their own cool crafts and activities. Everyone will have the chance to show off their rock and roll personas in the Lake County Libraries float at the Round-up parade. Each program is eight weeks long, and gives the participant a chance to earn a certificate signed by the governor of Oregon while having fun with their friends and preventing the summer slide in reading skills. The Summer Reading Program is supported in part by Oregon’s Ready to Read grant through the Oregon State Library.
