Lakehills Library Leanings​

By Vicki L. George
The Bandera Prophet

The Lakehills Area Library is re-opening! Beginning Monday, June 15, the library will allow 10 patrons at a time to enter the library. Everyone over the age of 2 years must wear a face mask and may enter between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The last hour of the day is for library cleaning.
In addition, there will be no seating available. Only two computers will be available and limited to one-hour use per patron and they ask that your reserve your time for the computer. Social distancing is requested.
The library has begun the Summer Reading Program for children. They are calling it the To Go Program. During June, the Director Dianna Landes will read to the youngsters via YouTube. There will be two new 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.
The crafts for June include Unicorn Slime, Bead Lizard Keychains, paper crafting and friendship bracelets.
The program will continue through July and into August but it has not been decided yet how that will be done.
Landes asks that the parents call, email or stop by 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 summer reading logs and bags at the library each week and one of the staff can hand them through the door.
The library wants to honor the high school graduates by displaying the senior’s graduation caps in the locked glass display case for about a month. Caps can be brought to the library during library hours and parents are asked to attach name, phone number and email address inside the cap. The public will not have access to the caps.
For those who don’t feel comfortable entering the library, the Director reminds us that the free WiFi is still available in the parking lot. If someone needs a computer, one of the staff can bring a laptop out to the table by the front door to use.
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 can 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.
They can also bring out a selection of books for a patron to choose from and check out the ones to take home and read.
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 lakehillslibrary@gmail.com. Their website is lakehillslibrary.org. ​
