July News

Happy July -summer is in full swing, and so is summer reading!

If you have not signed up for the Summer Reading Program, there is still plenty of time. We have an exciting lineup of programs for July, including the Umpqua Valley STEAM Hub,  Creative Finger Painting, and Umpqua Watersheds.  You can find details on all these programs and other upcoming events on our website: Events — Canyonville Library.  

On Wednesday, July 30th, at 1 PM, we will be celebrating all our summer readers! We’re throwing a special party just for you, complete with delicious cake and ice cream. But that’s not all—exciting prizes will be awarded based on the total minutes read! So, let’s keep those pages turning and let the reading adventures continue!

Why should the kids have all the fun? Grown-up “kids” are welcome to join in on the magic, too! We will grab some books and enjoy an hour of furry cuddles. 

A heartfelt thank you to Author, Robert Heilman, for his insightful presentation last week on his recent book, "While Librarians Wept. - A Library System Dies 1997-2017."  It was truly an inspiring evening, filled with a compassionate audience that deeply resonated with the shared experiences.

Thankfully, through the hard work, dedication, passion, and generosity of individuals, library services to our rural communities have risen from the ashes in the form of independent nonprofit organizations. Thank you, Bob, and everyone who continues to fight for libraries and support literacy! Your ongoing support of our library is appreciated.

Whether you’re yearning for an escape to a sun-kissed, exotic paradise, longing to immerse yourself in a heartfelt and enchanting romance, eager to broaden your horizons with thought-provoking literature, or seeking the exhilaration of an action-packed adventure, we offer a wide selection of books, hundreds of new DVDs, and engaging audiobooks to fit your needs.

And . . . If you can’t find it here, your library card provides access to seven additional community libraries through the interlibrary loan system. If you’re unsure how to access it, please stop by, and we'll be happy to assist you.

Let there be light! We'd like to give a big shout-out to the City of Canyonville for putting up a new light over our “New to Us” section of the library! Thanks to their support, you can now browse without straining your eyes. 

We will be closed on Saturday, July 5th, for the July 4th Holiday weekend.  Be sure to stop in ahead of time and stock up.  

Happy Reading!
