Douglas County Public Library

******* One of our book suppliers, Baker & Taylor, recently went out of business. *******
Unfortunately, this is causing delays in receiving new materials. We appreciate your patience as we work to re-order through another vendor.
*** JANUARY 9 LIBRARY OUTAGE UPDATE ***
**Our online catalogue and Digital Branch services, including Libby, Hoopla, and Freegal have been restored.**
Circulation data from the 9th was lost due to a power spike, affecting all check-outs, check-ins, and holds placed on Friday the 9th. Library cards that were issued were also affected. Patrons who were issued library cards on January 9th are encouraged to email or come in if possible, so we can reinstate your library card.
We are working diligently to re-update circulation data, but this is not a quick process. This outage affects thousands of records. We ask for your patience and understanding during this time. Please keep in mind notices may go out for overdue items that you already returned. We never charge late fees, so if you receive a notice but are confident the item was returned, know that it will be removed from your account soon.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Reading Challenge
Sharing just one book a night gives your child the building blocks for lifelong success! 

It doesn't matter if your child is three, or just three months - there's no better time to start than now! 
Reading helps build social and emotional skills, sparks creativity and imagination, promotes bonding, and helps kids do well overall in school. Take that motivation, open one book, and get started. 

And remember, 1000 is just a number. The goal is to work reading aloud into your regular routine, and let the magic of stories do the rest.
