SNAPSHOTS & SERENITY AT THE LIBRARY There’s lots happening at the Coos Bay Public Library! Our November Photo Contest is underway, and we have so many great entries! Photos will be displayed throughout the month of November and we want your vote. Vote for your favorite photograph each time you come to the Library. Just come to the front desk for your ballot and select the photograph that you think best meets our theme for this year, “ Worth a Thousand Words.” We are still looking for photographs of your veterans for our Veterans Day photo display. If you or someone you know was/is a military veteran, bring us a photo of that person. We will scan the photo and give it back to you. Photos will be displayed in our front display case in the month of November. The Library is beginning a new program for the winter, Hygge and relaxation. It is for Teens and Adults who need a little quiet time away from the house. Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish and Norwegian cultural concept that describes a deep sense of coziness, comfort, contentment, and everyday well-being. Come into the Library on Saturday morning before we open and enjoy the quiet atmosphere to read a book, do a puzzle, or color a picture. Warm drinks will be provided to help you fully relax and enjoy the Library during its most quiet time. Feel free to bring a cozy blanket or pillow. The Library door will be open from 10:30-10:45 a.m. to let program participants enter the Library, after which no entry will be allowed. There will be no library services (computers, check out) available during this time. If you would like to enjoy a little quiet time to read, puzzle, color, or just think join us and find your hygge. November 7 and 21, December 5 and 19, January 2 and 16.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

Wipes, Fats, Oils and Grease cause problems every day in the City’s Sanitary Sewer System. You can help us by not putting them down the drain or flushing them. WIPES: Even if the package says “flushable” DO NOT FLUSH! Wipes do not break down like toilet paper and can clog your pipes from your home to the City’s infrastructure. Once they enter the City’s infrastructure, they can clog large pipes and break large pumps causing costly repairs. FATS OILS & GREASE (FOG): Be sure to destroy FOG by wiping dishes before turning the hot water on to get food debris off dishes. When FOG cools it solidifies and can clog your pipes from your home to the City’s infrastructure. Once in the City’s infrastructure FOG can cause sanitary sewer overflows into the streets of our town.

THE COOS BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY WANTS YOUR PHOTOS During the month of November, we will be displaying photos all over the Library. First, in our front entry display cases we would like to display photos of local veterans to celebrate and honor them. If you or a family member is a veteran, please bring a photo to the reference desk between October 15 and 31. We will scan the photos and give them back to you and then print out a copy for our display. Also, from October 15 through the 31, we will be scanning photos for display on our Dia de los Muertos ofrenda. The ofrenda, or offering, is a way to honor our loved ones who have died. If you have a loved one who has passed that you would like to remember by having their photo on our ofrenda, please bring your photo to the reference desk and we will scan it and then return it to you and include it on our ofrenda. Finally, we are holding an amateur photo contest during the month of November. Amateur photographers are invited to submit up to two photos between 15-31 October to compete in the contest. This year’s theme is “Worth a Thousand Words.” We want to see your pictures that tell a story. This story might be of a fun outing, a rare glimpse of wildlife, or a quirky roadside attraction – you decide. All work must be original, unpublished work that has never been sold and has been taken within the last 12 months. It should be suitable for display and have minimal editing (formatting, lighting and correction only) and use no AI. All work should be submitted as an 8x10 print with an entry form. Photos will be displayed on our art wall throughout the month of November. The photos will be sorted by aged groups for judging: Adults (18+), Teens (13-17), Kids (7-12), and a special non-judged category called Happy Snappers (3-6) to allow young photographers to showcase their first photos. For more details on judging and prizes, please check out our website or stop by the library and pick up a flyer. Trick or Treat the Library Then Join Us for a Dance Party!
