Creswell Library Foundation - We need members!
We are looking for new members for the Creswell Public Library Foundation! This foundation is an important fundraising arm of the library and was the original driving force for our little library. But now the foundation is in need of new members. If you are interested in helping our library continue to thrive but aren't able to volunteer more than once or twice a month, this is a great way to help out. Contact Nick at nick@creswell-library.org to learn more!

Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am
Join us every Tuesday morning at 11am for coffee and books at our book club. No need to stress about finding the book club book and staying on pace with everyone else. Read what you want at your own speed and share with us when you are ready. Everyone who comes talks about the books they are reading or have recently finished. No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.

Libby's Skip-the-Line Feature
Have you noticed the new Skip-the-Line feature in Libby? With Skip-the-Line books you can check out high-interest books without having to wait on hold. There is a bit of a catch, though. The checkout period for these books is 7 days. You can find a little more information by following this link: https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6172.htm
Don't know what Libby is? It is the library app where you can check out and read ebooks and magazines as well as listen to audiobooks. You can watch a short video about it by following this link: https://overdrive.wistia.com/medias/id98dr2m64
