Lakehills Area Library Leanings
By Vicki L. George
The Bandera Prophet
The Lakehills Area Library recently received a grant of $3,683 from the Lower Colorado River Authority and Bandera Electric Cooperative to purchase five mobile, collapsible shelves to showcase used books available for purchase. The bookshelves will stand in the library’s community room and will free up space for public events.
“We are very excited about this grant,” Director Dianna Landes said.
The Board has discussed the issues with the older, unstable shelves in the community room. Since the new shelves can be moved and can be collapsed, there will be considerably more room available for meetings and other events throughout the year.
The library staff has made lovely Christmas ornaments that can be purchased at the library. The ornaments are clear glass bulbs, decorated with a variety of sayings and pictures, and some are filled with snow. Stop by the library to purchase your ornaments now. They will pretty up your trees and the funds will benefit the library.
The Preschool Storytime Program is very successful and continues through the holidays. Landes reads to the youngsters virtually through YouTube and craft kits may be picked up by parents at the library each week. The crafts are free and designed to meet preschool learning requirements with an emphasis on letters, numbers, reading and writing. Parents can still register at [email protected] or call the library at 830-751-2777.
The library will resume being open on Saturdays beginning Jan. 9, with the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All other hours will remain the same.
The library’s annual fundraiser is coming in February. Raffle tickets are on sale now in the library. Boyle’s True Value in Bandera and Lakehills has generously donated a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport II 5.56 rifle, valued at $799. Tickets are $10 each or six for $50, with a limit of 400 sold.
The second raffle item is a $500 Visa gift card. Tickets for the gift card are $5 each or six for $25. All the funds will benefit our library.
The annual fundraiser dinner will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 5-7 p.m. It will be held at the Lakehills Civic Center and, because of Covid, will be drive through only. Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased in the library or on site. With your ticket you will be able to pick up a generous helping of Gerry’s Famous Chicken Spaghetti, with salad, breadstick and dessert.
Library cards are free and will allow free access to thousands of downloadable ebooks and audio books as well as online databases full of correct and helpful information on any subject imaginable.
All services are available including books, movies, audio, printing, faxing, notary and scanning. Also, hundreds of paperback and hardcover books and DVDs are available for purchase.
Landes reminds patrons who are uncomfortable coming inside that all services are available at the door. The free WiFi is always available in the parking lot.
The library’s hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Masks are required, as is social distancing. 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.
