Carpool Cinema at the Library!
We are excited to announce our first ever carpool cinema! We will be showing Hocus Pocus in the field behind the Old School Gym on Friday, October 30th. You can tune into the movie while staying in your car or if you’d like to sit outside, bring blankets & chairs. Just remember, we will be practicing social distancing.
Cub scouts will be offering concessions, but you are welcome to bring your own snacks. The fun begins at 6:30!
Mobile Hotspots
Great news, Friends!
The Jay C. Byers Memorial Library has been awarded the Digital Inclusion Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The Digital Inclusion Grant will help the library expand access to digital services for the community. With the grant, the library has purchased ten mobile hotspots for circulation.
Here’s what you need to know:
* Only one per household.
* Must be 18 years of age or older.
* Checkout is for 1 week with no renewals.
* Late fees are $1.00 per day.
* Must be returned inside the library, not in the drop-box.
Thank you to the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries for this opportunity!
