SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2020 | 9A Weekly Library Tidings Book Review “Never Ask Me” by Jeff Abbott In a quiet neighborhood in the wealthy Austin suburb of Lakehaven, the body of Dan- ielle Roberts is discovered on a park bench. Danielle was a beloved member of the com- munity, an adoption consul- tant who delivered the joy of parenthood to a number of local families. Her murder shocks Lakehaven. Perhaps no other family is as crushed as the Pollitts, who lived two houses down from Danielle and thought of her almost as family. Her death becomes the catalyst for a maelstrom of suspicion and RECYCLE from page 1A “It’s not a perfect stream, but it did add a lot,” said Gardiepy. “It was actually the No. 1 area we had com- plaints, and so we finally got a solution for that.” He is also pleased with the addition to the list of any lid or cap six inches in diameter or smaller. “We pay for that. And we do that because it’s actually a pet peeve of mine,” Gar- diepy added. “I don’t like small pieces of plastic in an open-air landfill where there’s birds.” EcoGeneration has also added writing utensils to its list. “Pens, pencils, mechani- News about the Siuslaw Public Library By Kevin Mittge intrigue. “You have been told a huge lie,” an anonymous email charges the son, Grant. “No one can learn the truth now,” thinks the father, Kyle. “Never ask me what I’d do to protect my family,” resolves the wife, Iris. “I’ll do whatever it takes to save him,” vows the daughter, Julia, of Danielle’s grieving teenage son. The Pollitts always thought they’d be there for each other. When each begins to suspect the others of the unimag- inable, the strength of their bonds will be tested in ex- traordinary new ways. The latest from New York Times bestselling author Jeff Abbott is his most suspense- ful thriller yet: a riveting tale of the dangerous secrets one family has concealed — and what happens when the ques- tion each Pollitt hoped they’d never be asked threatens to expose their darkest truths. Curbside Pickup and Book online database that is now about books and DVDs every available to Siuslaw Public week. If you need more infor- Returns Moved Indoors As a new protocol for an- ticipated inclement weather, especially wind and rain, this autumn and winter, the curb- side pickup carts have now been moved into the library’s lobby, as have the book/DVD return bins. The hours remain the same: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on Fri- days, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Patrons must wear a mask when entering the lobby. Peo- ple who don’t have a mask will be given their books at the door. As much as we have missed everyone and want to catch on everyone’s activities and news, because of the number of people entering the lobby we ask that you enter, get your materials, and then leave the building. Please stay safe! Library patrons. Explore and stay informed on local and national topics, people, and events in areas such as busi- ness, health, education, jobs and careers. If you would like to read the Register-Guard or the Or- egonian, you can do so each day from the comfort of your home. Just visit the library’s webpage, www.siuslawlibrary. info, click on the Newsbank link (on the right hand side of the page) to take you to the log in screen where you enter your library card and PIN. Then select “databases” near the top of the screen, scroll down, and click on “News- bank” and you’re in! cal pencils, markers, high- lighters, Sharpies — pretty much anything you can write with that you can re- cycle,” Gardiepy said. While many waste mate- rials may eventually have a market for recycling, at this time many potentially usable items are not recycled. “We generally sort into the following main categories: curbside recycling, scrap metal, recyclable plastics, Oregon Bottle Deposit items, cigarette butt recycling, com- post, household items, and finally landfill,” Gardiepy said. “I wish I could tell you that we put very little in the landfill; however, this is not the case. Rather a large por- tion of what is collected will end up in the landfill, in compressed bails of rubbish. The reasons for this tend to be based on recycling pro- grams available to us, and the content of what is collected.” In addition to expand- ing the types of items that accepted at its take-back events, the nonprofit has up- graded its website to be more user-friendly and adding an easy-to-access donation button. Gardiepy is hopeful this will generate more traf- fic and funding. “We’re definitely in need of money,” he said. “That’s something that hasn’t changed.” The Master Recyclers of Florence, as well as mem- bers of the Florence Unit- ed Methodist Church, will be assisting at the Florence event. The following tips from Lane County Waste man- agement are for removing la- bels, essential to acceptance of recyclables other than health and beauty items: • Step One: Try and re- move the label by pulling and scraping from the cor- ners. Attempt to remove the top layer of the label. • Step Two: Grab some old cooking oil and wipe a small amount over the top of the label and about half an inch around the outside of the label. • Let sit for a few hours (overnight works best). • Step Three: Wipe the la- Library’s YouTube Visit YouTube and search for the Siuslaw Public Library.

Imagination Library Energy Assistance sign-ups begin Nov. 2 In 1995, Dolly Parton es- tablished a free book gifting program, sending each child in her county’s preschools a specially selected book each month. In 2000 this program began to be replicated nation- ally. Today, parents in Flor- ence, Mapleton, Deadwood, Swisshome and Dunes City can sign their children (from birth to age 5) up for this free program. The Siuslaw Public Library is the local affiliate and it is funded by United Way of Lane County. To get started visit: imaginationlibrary.com and follow the steps to reg- ister. Once registered, your child will receive each month a high quality, age appropri- ate book at no cost. Be sure to take advantage of this won- derful opportunity. Siuslaw Outreach Ser- vices (SOS) will be taking sign-ups for the Lane Coun- ty LIHEAP (Low-Income Housing Energy Assistance Program) for the 2021 year on Monday, Nov. 2, begin- ning promptly at 9 a.m. LIHEAP is an energy as- sistance program designed to help low-income individ- uals and families during the colder months. Sign-ups can be done online at www.lancounty. org/energyassistance and following the quick link to LIHEAP Sign-ups, or by calling Siuslaw Outreach Services at 541-997-2816. People may also sign up in-person at Siuslaw Out- reach Services, located at 1576 W. 12th St. on Nov. 2. bel away. By this time most of the label should be loos- ened. • Step Four: Move Grease around on the plastic to coat the remaining bits of the la- bel. • Step Five: Wipe away and rinse. In addition to organizing weekly plastic collections for local residents, EcoGen- eration has worked to find recycling streams for oth- er waste materials which would otherwise go into landfills. EcoGeneration has built relationships with a network of 29 different re- cycling companies all over the country, each of which takes and processes differ- ent materials. One of the main differ- ences between EcoGenera- tion and other recycle proj- ects is the fact that they are working towards accepting many other types of waste streams, including electron- ics. These items will not be accepted at this event but may be included in a later program. COVID-19 Safety Re- quests for Recycling Take Backs 1. Wear a mask 2. Limit individuals com- ing to one (or two if abso- lutely necessary) per house- hold 3. All materials need meet our approved standards (Clean/Dry/Label Free) for each stream 4.
