Lakehills Area Library Leanings
By Vicki L. George
The Bandera Prophet
The Lakehills Area Library will host an in-person class in the library’s conference room on Thursday, May 20, at 10:30 a.m., and on June 10, at 6:30 p.m. To celebrate National Healthcare Decision Day, the class is a Healthcare Paperwork Workshop and is offered by Alamo Hospice. 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. Call now to reserve your seat.
The library has reinstated the Art in the Library program. There is a new exhibit in the display case now, featuring local residents Joe and Barbara Rodriguez’s collection of local bird nests and her sketches of local birds in colored pencil.
On May 11 the display case will feature wood carvings by local artist John Tucker. His works are available for purchase, which can be handled at the library’s front desk. The public is invited to view these exhibits during library hours.
The library is looking for collections to display in their glass enclosed case. If you would like to share your collection with the public, contact the library to arrange the time.
The library can help with your genealogy search. Along with many books on genealogy and local history, your library card will provide access to their Ancestry subscription. Currently, you can also access it from home. The library is a FamilySearch library, which gives patrons access to many records that otherwise would not be available through the FamilySearch website.
The library’s next monthly book sale is Saturday, June 1, and will continue the first Saturday of every month. The library will offer books and DVDs for sale during their regular hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Summer reading will begin June 7 and continue until July 31. Each week will include crafts for children ages 2-18 to take home and enjoy. Parents and kids can pick up their crafts each week, while getting books to keep the youngsters reading.
The library’s hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 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.
