titles. There are

It has only been four months
since the doors opened, but the
Warm Springs Library is already
about to see som e excitin g
changes, thanks to a m ajor
aw ard from the N o rthw est
Booksellers Association.
“It started with an email from
the author Jane Kirkpatrick,”
Library A dm inistrator Craig
Graham said. “She asked if we
would be interested in having
our library nominated for the
award, which goes to rural li
braries. I said of course!”
The library was nominated by
Brad Smith of Paulina Springs
Books, with a second by Oregon
author Jane Kirkpatrick.
Earlier this month, Craig and
his staff—William Rhoan, Rose
m ary Lew is and v o lu n teer
C heryl A rch er— traveled to
Portland to accept the 2011
Michael Pritikin Rural Library
Project award.
“They have all the big-name
publishers who are showcasing
their new books,” Graham said.
“They put together boxes of
books they were willing to do
nate to the rural library recipi
ent.”
The award means a total of

the many titles included in a recent award to the library.
an estim ated 40 boxes o f
books, or 3,000 titles.
“These are new books,” he
said. “Some are from w ell-
known authors, some are the
classics which are being repub
lished. We also got to choose
some of the titles ourselves.”
The library plans to add more
shelves and possibly acquire an
additional room at the Family
Resources building.
“We’re having growing pains.
But who’s complaining?” Gra
ham said. “This donation will al-
most double the size of our col
lection. Folks can expect to see
the books hitting the shelves in
the next couple of months. A
good number of the titles will
go into the Book Mobile.”
The library website is up and
running at:
wshbrary.folletdestiny.com.
“People can search by key
word, author, subject. Just type
it in. They’re able to see every
thing we have.”
Currently, the library holds
about 3,400 titles. There are
374 library card holders. 234
books are checked out. Sixty
books are overdue.
“Once a person checks out
a book, it ’s good for three
weeks. Late charges are 10
cents per day, and once they
reach $5.00 we suspend their
privileges. But if a person
brings a book back, we will con
sider waiving the late fees.”
Future plans for the library
m ight in clu d e book drops,
ebooks, and extended hours.
