Note: The Tribal Library is no longer a Chemeketa Co-
operative Regional Library Services circulation site. Due
to little to no use of this service, it has been discontinued at the
Tribal Library.
Reading Incentive Program: The Tribal Library had 20 active
readers out of 50 registered youth. The 20 readers read 398 books
for a total of 12,001 minutes. The youths earned enough book bucks
to purchase $800 worth of prizes at the library’s Book Buck Store,
plus each of the four age categories had a lucky drawing winner of
a $40 movie money gift card. Congratulations to all of our superstar
readers this summer.

Boo” books – “Where Is My Mom,” “Puppy” and “Kitten” (series);

Donations: Many thanks to the following contributors to the
library collection: Eirik T., Bill M., Daniele P., Melissa G., Shawn J.,
Veronica G., Lewis Y. and Leroy & Mary Ellen G. We appreciate the
great additions to the library collection and other contributions.
VHS movies: We have deleted most of the VHS movies from
the library collection. Many of our children and youth movies were
videos so we have a very limited selection of movies for youth now.
Please donate good children’s DVDs you may have and no longer
watch. Thanks!
Reminder: Donated items must be clean and in good condi-
tion.
Oregon State Library Inter-Library Loan Service: This
service remains in effect at the Tribal Library. The service offers
“library to library” inter-library loan services. By completing the
inter-library loan form, Tribal Library patrons may request items
from the Oregon State Library collection. Items are mailed directly
to our library. OSL lending policies apply for return of items.
