Lakehills Library Leanings​

By Vicki L. George

The Lakehills Area Library board met on May 13. The library will remain closed to the public, with all meetings and events canceled, throughout the rest of the month of May.
At the end of this month they will decide when, and how, to open to the public. Updates will be posted on Facebook.
In the meantime, the library is gearing up for the Summer Reading Program for the kiddos. They are calling it the To Go Program. For the four Wednesdays of June, the Director Dianna Landes will read to the youngsters via YouTube. There will be two videos each week, one where Landes will read stories aloud, and one that will have the instructions for the crafts that the children will make. Parents will go online to YouTube.com and do a search for Lakehills Area Library. All the videos will be there.
Landes asks that the parents call or email the library now to register for the Summer Reading Program. They need to know how many kiddos and their ages so that they can make up To Go bags with the craft materials for each child, each week. The parents will need to pick up the bags at the library and one of the staff will hand them through the door.
Even though they are closed to the public, the director reminds us that the free WiFi is still available in the parking lot.
The staff is still there to take care of copying, printing, faxing, and notarizing at the door. Library card holders can reserve books and DVDs online at the website, or by phone, and pick them up at the library door. Returned items must be placed in the book return bin outside. Patrons can call with requests for information, items and services. By calling the library, a newcomer can be given a library card.
Library cards are free and borrowing books and DVDs cost nothing. Printing and copying cost 15 cents a page and faxing costs $1 a page. Director Dianna Landes is a Notary and can notarize documents for $4.
During this time of social distancing, the library’s hours are Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at 7200 FM 1283 and the phone number is 830-510-2777. The email address is [email protected]. Their website is lakehillslibrary.org.
