The Bandera Prophet
UPDATE: Another Healthcare Decision Day workshop has been scheduled for Thursday, April 29, at 10:30 a.m. Openings are still available. Call or email now to register. This is in addition to the class on April 15.
The Lakehills library will host an in-person class in the library’s conference room on Thursday, April 15, at 10:30 a.m. To celebrate National Healthcare Decision Day, the class is offered by Alamo Hospice and it is free to all adults. Class participants will make an advance directive, a medical power of attorney and, if they wish, a Do Not Resuscitate order. When the class is over, they will have all their paperwork ready and signed. Class size will be limited to 10 participants; if more sign up, the library will make a waiting list and schedule more classes. Masks and social distancing will be required.
The library now has a Zoom book club on the second Wednesday of each month, at 1 p.m. On April 14 the group will discuss The Couple Next Door by Sheri Lepena. Contact the library to receive the link to join the discussion. All are welcome.
The Preschool Storytime Program continues with Director Dianna Landes reading 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 register at lakehillslibrary@gmail.com or call the library at 830-510-2777.
The library is preparing for the school kids summer reading program, “Tails and Tales,” which will benefit all grade levels of young people, with varying levels of difficulty.
Parents are encouraged to participate in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. This is a free program to encourage parents to read to their children so the they are ready for kindergarten. Each child will record the books read and, after 100 books, the child is promoted to the “rainbow board” at the library. At 500 books, the child will receive a small prize and, at 1000 books, the child will get a bigger prize. Stop by the library to join the program.
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.
