PASSPORT PROGRAM
The Yachats Library has joined other libraries around the state in a new program called the Oregon Library Passport Program. This program will allow Yachats library cardholders to have access, without charge, to other participating libraries across the state. Newport, Waldport and Florence are part of this program. Materials borrowed from participating libraries must be returned to that library. Learn more at www.librariesoforegon.org/passport or stop by the library for more information.
COMPUTERS
We are pleased to announce we again have 4 functioning patron computers! The two new ones are running Window 8. We know many of you will be happy to hear that all computers have WORD installed. The new printer/copier also has scanning capabilities, another function patrons have been requesting. The touch screens on the Windows 8 computers are fun to use. Come give it a try! We will be glad to help you if you are new to touch screens.
Summer Reading Program
This Summer Yachats Public Library will be offering an 8 week Summer Reading Program for children 4 - 9 years of age. Our library received state library grant for the program that will start June 25 and continue through mid-August on Tuesdays from 10-Noon.
“Dig into Reading” is this year's theme for the program and young readers will explore all things underground. Children will meet at the library for a story hour and book selection then walk over to the Commons for a craft activity or presentation. Activities will include digging into the past: a look at dinosaurs and fossils, exploring animals that live underground, plant life, looking at construction vehicles that dig in the dirt, and much more.
The Yachats Public Library was established by Ordinance 36 in November 1973 stating "The City of Yachats does hereby establish a public library to be known as the 'Yachats Public Library' to be operated and funded by the said city and to be used for the educational and cultural benefit by the citizens of the said city in accordance with the rules and regulations of the said library."
