Library Friends seek used
books for upcoming sale
Start the new year by mak-
ing space on your book-
shelves for all of the new and
slightly used books you will
acquire this year at the
Friends of the Library book
sales.
The Friends are always
looking for donations of gen-
tly used books which can be
brought to the library circula-
tion desk at any time.
While the Friends welcome
all donations and excel at
finding good homes for most
materials it receives, it’s diffi-
cult to successfully sell text-
books, encyclopedia sets and
outdated periodicals.
3 A
B&G Club members make holiday cards
However, large-print books
audio books, cookbooks, chil-
dren's books, how-to books,
books about crafts and hob-
bies, sports, biographies, cur-
rent magazines, and the ever-
popular fiction-mystery, sus-
pense, horror, science fiction,
and western titles are always
welcome.
Book sales are one of the
Library Friends’ primary
fundraisers. All proceeds go
to support both branches of
the Siuslaw Public Library
and their programs.

Veterans’ information possibly compromised
SALEM — The Oregon
Department of Veterans’
Affairs (ODVA) recently deter-
mined that the personal infor-
mation of 967 Oregon veterans
may have been compromised.
A preliminary and ongoing
investigation indicates that
copies of DD214s (DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty)
may have been in the posses-
sion of a person unauthorized
to handle this information.
At this time there is no evi-
dence to suggest that there has
been any attempt to misuse the
information; however, because
personal information such as
social security number, date of
birth, address and full name is
typically on discharge docu-
ments, ODVA is treating this
compromise with critical
importance.
All impacted veterans have
been mailed a notification and
offered credit monitoring serv-
ices for a full year at no charge.
“Beyond the more immedi-
ate investigation and response
for our veterans that are
impacted, I have also asked our
leadership team for a broader
review of our policies and
internal controls around veter-
ans' confidentiality and priva-
cy,” said ODVA Director
Cameron Smith. “The trust our
veterans have in our ability to
keep their personal information
private goes to the core of our
work.”
ODVA takes great pride in
our advocacy on behalf of
Oregon veterans and deeply
regrets this release of personal
information.
