NOTICES New Manager and Hours at Siletz Public Library My name is Laura Hamilton and I'm delighted to serve the greater Siletz community as the new library manager. I feel very privileged to be working in this beautiful new library and getting to know the residents. Your years of hard work in plan ning, designing, fund-raising and just plain hard work have created a won derful space for books, computers and those who need and love them. Whether you dash in to grab some essential piece of information or have the leisure to more fully make use of the objects stored here, I'm happy to help connect you with what you seek. Let me know if a book or other item doesn’t seem to be available as we have resources to bring whatever it is here in (usually) a reasonable timeframe. Linked with libraries to the north, south, east, and west, we have access to thousands of titles and the van brings new treasures back and forth three times a week. My own background starts with a profound love of libraries. I first stated my desire to be a librarian as a child, when my jaw dropped after a librarian asked if 1 wanted a job there when I grew up. I had no idea one could be paid to spend time in libraries. I read voraciously and worked in the library at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Calif., where I got a degree in English. Next, I started a graduate course of study toward a library degree at San Jose State, but quit to get married and have a family. I worked in a small branch library in Santa Clara, Calif., for three years before my twin sons were born. Rais ing them got me interested in education and I’ve been working in homeschooling programs and alternative education (13 years) and as a writing teacher at the community college level (eight years) before moving to Newport last year. I now continue to teach in an online format for Rogue Community College and enjoy that very much. I love this region and feel lucky to live and work here. My Yorkshire ter rier, Lili, used to pout and lie facing the back window all the way home when we came for vacations. Now she is relentless in coaxing a stop at the beach out of me every day - twice a day on my days off! Both of us are very glad to call this area home. If you haven’t yet seen the new li brary, I will be happy to show you around and get a card set up for you. Stop by the library and say hello. Please note that library hours recently changed to: Wednesdays, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m.; Thursdays, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Fri days, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Laura Hamilton, new library manager, and her dog, Lili Frank Simmons, Loraine Butler, Lillie Butler and Reggie Butler Sr accept a framed certificate/photo from David G over (center) of the Native American Rights Fund in recognition of the tribe's charitable contribution to NARF's summer law clerk program.
