the Willamina and Sheridan school districts will be eligible, though
students from outside the area may be eligible with a letter of commit

New CCRLS service
Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service and the Grand
Ronde Tribal Library will partner in a new project to provide ac
cess to CCRLS material through the Grand Ronde Tribal Library.
Patrons will need to have a basic or full service library card from a
member library in CCRLS. With this card they can request material
from any CCRLS library to be sent for pick up at the Grand Ronde
Tribal Library. When finished with, the material can be returned
to Grand Ronde. The Tribal Library is not becoming a member of
CCRLS, and the circulation rules of the CCRLS library will apply.
The service will be available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
noon and from 1 to 6 p.m. Nearby CCRLS libraries are in Willamina,
Sheridan, Dallas, McMinnville and Salem.
