COMMUNITY EDITOR
All branches of the Ore-
gon Trail Library District
— Boardman, Heppner and
Irrigon — are closed until
further notice.
Kathy Street, OTLD
director, said while the phys-
ical buildings are closed,
patrons may still access dig-
ital content — including
downloadable magazines,
eBooks and audiobooks —
with the use of their library
card.
Library cards are free to
people who live within the
library district. Others can
purchase one for $25.
As a precautionary mea-
sure, Street said only one
staff person would be on
site at a time in each branch
library. They will be avail-
able via phone or email
during regular business
hours, including to issue
library cards.
“We don’t know when
we will reopen,” Street said.
“It’s all a fl uid situation.”
Street said her staff and
the library board are com-
mitted to fi nding ways to
offer access to informa-
tion and materials as well
as stimulating activities for
people. While people are
isolated at home with social
distancing, she said it’s
important to fi nd things “to
keep your mind and spirit
engaged.”
Also, the library dis-
trict is extending holds and
due dates during the clo-
sure. People with materials
that are due while the facil-
ities are closed may keep
them until libraries reopen
or return them at the book
drops.
Street said late fi nes will
be suspended during the
closure.
