The Lane County Library will close on November 28th and re-open on December 2nd for the Thanksgiving Holiday!

Plan to join the Lane County Library for a special story time for children ages 0-5 years of age on Friday, November 22nd @ 7:00 p.m. in the Lane County Community Room. Children are to invite parents or grandparents to his special event. Little readers are encourages to wear their p.j.’s and bring a stuffed animal or pillow. We will have a  special guest reader. Copies of the book “Dog’s Colorful Day ” will be available for each household.  Refreshments will be served.

The Library has acquired a small collection of playaways.  Playaway is the name of a solid-state prerecorded audio player.  About the size of a deck of playing cards and weighing 2 ounces, it can store up to 80 hours of audio. As of March 2010, the audiobooks are all produced in high definition audio. The digital content (audiobook) is preloaded at the factory and cannot be changed or copied by the end user. A 3.5 mm stereo jack provides output to earphones or an external amplifier. Power is provided by a changeable battery provided by library.

Stop @ the Library and try one out today!

Join the Book Club in May for the discussion of the book “The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger has her questioning what’s been missing in her life. And when she’s forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it’s worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness. Pick up a copy today at the Lane County Library.
