Canyonville Community Library
November News
As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, we celebrate the beauty of November at the Library. This month, we have several programs that the whole community can participate in, along with events and resources to help you settle in for the season.
Make a Difference for the Library with Bottle Drop! Join us for the Holiday Give campaign running from November 15th to December 2nd. This is a great opportunity to help us earn an additional 20% on funds raised through Bottle Drop, all while making a positive impact on the environment!
Getting involved is easy—grab a Blue Bag at the library and fill it with OR-10 bottles or cans before returning it. Bonus points if you send us a photo of you and your family with your blue bags, helping us earn extra money through their social media campaign.
If you’re a Green Bag participant, consider donating all or part of your account balance back to us. By logging into your BottleDrop Green Bag account, you can take pride in supporting your Community Library and making a difference this holiday season! Click here to make a direct donation to our account.
You can also make a difference in our neighbors' lives by participating in our food drive. Join us in supporting the South Douglas Food Bank by donating non-perishable food items to help families in need. Your contributions will make a meaningful impact, especially during the holiday season. Donations can be dropped off during open hours. The drive runs through December 20th, but donations are always accepted. Visit our website for a list of the most urgently needed items. -Food Drive — Canyonville Library
Join us for a month-long Thanksgiving-themed craft session where kids can create a turkey puppet and a thankfulness placemat, creating cherished holiday memories.
Visit us at the Canyonville Holiday Farmers Market at Seven Feathers Resort on Wednesday, November 19th, from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. Our volunteers will be available to share updates about the library, and we’ll have a craft activity for the kids, along with free books for them to take home.
Thanks to the Douglas County Library Foundation, our Young Adult section has received a complete makeover! It now offers a wider selection of contemporary fiction and non-fiction titles, including popular bestsellers and diverse voices that connect with today’s youth. This collection update includes the entire Garfield collection and new copies of one of our favorites, Calvin and Hobbes. Be sure to stop in to see everything that has been added.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the Native Innovations Exhibit. Nearly 200 people joined us, including several field trips from Days Creek Charter School and Canyonville Elementary. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did and look forward to hosting more similar events in the future. We have uploaded photos to our website, so be sure to check them out.

You may have noticed that the City building we occupy has recently been given a fresh coat of paint. The new colors make the building appear brighter and more inviting. We thank the City for this new look! We will also install a new directional sign leading to the library, so there will be no more excuses for not finding us!
Do you have a child celebrating a birthday this month? If so, be sure to swing by the library and pick up a special gift bag, along with a free book!
Please plan ahead, as we will be closed on Thanksgiving, November 29th. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for the latest updates, and visit our website for all your library needs. We share book recommendations, event reminders, and more.
Thank you for being a valued member of our library community. We look forward to seeing you this November!
