2A — BAKER CITY HERALD FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2019 LIBRARY “In a small town people are famil- iar with each other and there might be some discomfort checking out a sensitive topic item with someone you might know across the desk,” Stokes said. So far, 40% of self-checkouts are children’s books, 40% from adults, and 10% from young adults. Equipment for the checkout station cost $800, Stokes said.

T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald November 15, 1969 The Pine-Eagle girls volleyball team won the combined Tu-Valley and Baker “B” League championship over Im- bler Friday night at the St. Francis gym. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald November 15, 1994 Senior Travis Bloomer was named co-defensive player of the year and a fi rst-team all-league linebacker to lead the list of Baker Bulldogs named to Greater Oregon League all-star football teams. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald November 16, 2009 The City Council was scheduled to meet in a private session at noon today to discuss the four city manager candidates whom councilors interviewed last week. Mayor Dennis Dorrah has asked each councilor to choose two favorite candidates. The Council could decide today to order extensive back- ground checks on two fi nalists, Dorrah said. It’s also possible, though not certain, that the Council will reach a consensus about a single candidate today, Dorrah said. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald November 16, 2018 A frosty pink dawn is breaking in Baker City on Thurs- day and the famous passenger, all 70 feet and 8,300 pitchy pounds of it, is ready to roll out of town. The semi truck parked on the west side of the Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative compound idles with the distinc- tive diesel clatter. Several law enforcement offi cers, some from the Baker City Police Department, some from the U.S. Forest Ser- vice, stroll across the asphalt. Nikki Swanson is excited. It’s her day to ride in the cab of the truck that’s hauling America’s most famous noble fi r tree across the country. The tree, part of which is visible through the clear plastic that makes up the rear portion of the 80-foot trailer, will complete its journey Nov. 26 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. On Dec. 5 the nation’s offi cial Christmas tree will be illuminated.

Periodicals Postage Paid at Baker City, Oregon 97814 The previous shelves in the children’s section at the Baker City library, 2400 Resort St., had been in place since the building opened in 1970, Stokes said. “For a small investment we were able to really upgrade the look in the room and I hope it will bring some excitement and more checkouts,” he said. Stokes said he hadn’t planned to replace the shelves, but when Concor- dia offered the units he decided to take advantage of the opportunity. There are no plans to replace shelving elsewhere in the library. “These units are offered periodically and we just try to take advantage of that when we see an opportunity,” Stokes said. Missy Grammon, the library’s youth services coordinator, said the new shelv- ing allows for a more effi cient use of the children’s section. “We had a lot of wasted space before,” Grammon said. “I think this is a better layout because now we have more room on the shelves.” She is working to fi nish rearranging the area, including moving the children’s audio books where they can be easily found. “I don’t think that a lot of people know we have kids audio books,” Grammon said. She has also moved the Spanish col- lection where it is easier to fi nd. She plans to have the kids area fi n- S. John Collins / Baker City Herald Elder Care Kits are new to the library. Heather Spry, circulation and opera- tions supervisor, says the kits can be checked out for up to three weeks. ished before Thanksgiving. Another recent change at the library is the addition of a self-checkout sta- tion, for books only, between the main desk and the children’s section. “So far it’s gotten a good amount of use,” Stokes said of the self-checkout station, which was installed in early October. The station didn’t result in any reduction of staff. It’s intended to give customers more privacy when check- ing out potentially sensitive material, Stokes said. Elder Care Kits These new products, available for checkout, are activity kits assembled by the Bookmobile staff for customers at the Senior Center. Each kit con- tains puzzles, CDs and picture books intended to stimulate brain activity for people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s. Stokes said he plans to rename the items Memory Care Kits. “Any time they can exercise their brain and recall things is healthy for people that are experiencing these things,” Stokes said. The library is also looking into add- ing a streaming service for movies and other programs. There is no launch date yet for the streaming service. Stokes said each library card would have a certain number of usage credits per month. The number of credits is still under discussion. Outside, Stokes said some exterior siding on the library will be replaced, along with the worn boards on the boardwalk section on the east side of the building.
