Book Sale

The library will be having its annual book sale this Sunday, July 25 from 9am to 3pm in the library parking lot. We have thousands of selections and other miscellaneous items for sale or donation. A Dexter Fire Department firetruck will be there from 9:30-12:00 for families to see and learn about while they look for books. Free ice cream all day. All proceeds directly benefit the library so come on down and add some great books to your home library!

Summer Reading Kids are Stellar!

Our summer reading program has been going along swimmingly so far! Water is the main theme this year and the kids have watched flowers turn color, made marbled paper from watercolors and shaving cream and created many other works of art with the help of water. Everyone is reading up a storm, turning reading logs in each week, and adding goldfish (crackers!) to the fishbowl. Who will guess closest to the actual number of goldfish in the bowl?? We will find out at our last program day, next Tuesday morning, during our final day festivities! Many thanks, again to the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation and the Lane Library League for their sponsorship of this educational and fun-filled program.

Dive Into Summer Reading!

The library's summer reading program will begin Tuesday, June 22 from 10-11:30 am. Join us for stories, activities, games and crafts which will entertain and educate your 3-12 year olds. WATER is the theme this year, which lends itself to many fun activities so be ready to get wet! Kids will be encouraged to read throughout the program and will receive rewards for turning in reading logs. A healthy (mostly!) snack is offered, too. Each week there will be a drawing for a book, T-shirt or book bag. We will meet at the library each Tuesday morning, June 22-July27. Space is limited so register your child(ren) soon by calling the library or 541-726-6511. This FREE program is sponsored by the Chambers Family Foundation, the Lane Library League and the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation. Many thanks to these groups for making our most popular program possible!

Reading Programs End and Begin!

Children's Story Time will hold its last morning of fun on Tuesday, May 25 at 10:00 am. We will be taking a few weeks off to get ready for our very popular Summer Reading Program which begins Tuesday, June 22. The program will continue each Tuesday morning from 10-11:30 through the last Tuesday in July. Keep checking in with us about more information and how to register your child(ren).

Book Sale Postponed

The annual book sale which was scheduled for this Sunday, May 23 has been postponed due to the possibility of rainy weather. The sale will be rescheduled for sometime in June, date to be announced. We will have a huge selection of fiction, non-fiction and children's books so keep checking in on us to find out the new date.

New Books

Just added to the children's chapter book collection are two new books in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. We also have added to the first 5 books in the Percy Jackson series to our young adult fiction section. They have been very busy books, being checked in and out a lot in the past few weeks!

Volunteers Are The Best!

The next time you visit the library, take a moment to thank the volunteer working to keep the doors open so you can come in to check out materials. Our volunteers are very dedicated community members, some of whom have been working for over 8 years to keep this library open and dynamic. At this time we have 15 people who take time out of their busy schedules to keep our services accessible to you. Let them know how much you appreciate them!
