Greetings LCPL fans!

 

April is flying by and we’re here to share the latest and greatest library news. Read on for more!

 

Announcements/Updates

We’re excited to announce The Soup Hug will be catering our free community dinner at the Earth Day Author Talk with Camille Dungy on Thursday, April 30th. Doors open at Freight at 5:30pm. Don’t have FOMO! Come join us! Remember to stop by the library and pick up your free copy of Camille’s book Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden while supplies last. 

 

Sadly, we’re saying goodbye to Finn, our Programming Coordinator at the end of the month. Although her time with us was brief and we’re sad to see her go, she must follow a new path with what’s best for her, personally. That means, we’re starting the search for a new Programming Coordinator. If you have experience in community programming and are interested in being a part of the library’s mission, click HERE for more information and the application. 

 

Our Community

The LCPL staff are hard at work creating some really wonderful community programming for 2026’s Summer Reading Challenge: Unearth A Story. This year, the all ages challenge will start on June 12th and run through August 1st. We’re excited to be partnering with The National Mining Museum, a local gold prospector and leader of the gold prospecting community in Colorado: Kevin Singel,  Nature’s Educators, and more! You can check out more details on our website HERE. This page will be updated as more information becomes available, and we’ll let you know when registration opens! 

Our Collections

This month, we’re featuring our Creation Station’s button maker as a passive library activity. If you’ve ever wanted to have some fun and make a button, stop by the library anytime. We have all the materials available for you!
 

 

Don’t forget that here in Lake County, we celebrate not just one day as Earth Day, but the entire month as Earth Month. In a place where Mother Nature is such a big part of our daily lives, you know that LCPL has your back on outdoor appreciation! Stop in and see our Earth Month displays that have curated materials for any nature enthusiast. We also have some awesome things in our Library of Things Collection to help you enjoy the outdoors like telescopes, Colorado State Park Passes, birdwatching kits, metal detectors and more! All Lake County resident library card holders with accounts in good standing are eligible for our Library of Things privileges after 30 days of opening their account. If you want access, stop by the front desk to sign the waiver and we’ll get your account updated. 

 

Have the best day & we’ll see you on the 30th for the Author Talk!
