This year’s Summer Reading program dives deep under the sea. The program includes all kinds of activities and online events related to the ocean. Readers of all ages can visit ccclib.org/summer for activities and challenges to feed the imagination and explore new skills. This year’s program is offered online and every completed entry is entered in a drawing for a chance to win prizes including an Xbox One X.

Please join us for our New Library Committee Meeting! RSVP on our Facebook Page or by e-mail (president@oakleylibrary.org) to receive the link to join us on Zoom. We hope to see you there!

It's National Library Week! Here at the Friends of Oakley Library we are so pleased to support the Oakley Library and all that it does for our community.
The theme for National Library Week 2020, "Find your place at the library," was chosen before the pandemic forced most libraries to temporarily close their doors. Even though our Library's doors are shut, you can still find your place at the library because libraries are open for business online, providing the virtual services and digital content our community needs more than ever.
#ThankYouLibrary #nationallibraryweek

While the libraries are closed, there are tons of free, digital library resources you can access with your library card:

• Download and read e-Books and eAudiobooks
• Stream movies and TV with Kanopy
• Download and read Magazines and Periodicals
• Research family history and genealogy with Ancestry Library Edition
• Learn a language with Rosetta Stone
• And so much more!

Happy Reading/Watching/Learning! 

We want to extend a huge Thank You to everyone who has participated in our Programming Fundraiser! With your support we were able to sell 59 t-shirts and raised $2,144.89 for the Oakley Library. This has been our most successful fundraiser to date, and we are touched by the generosity of our community. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and we hope to see all of our Friends at the Oakley Library!

As a precaution to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, all libraries will close beginning March 16. For more information, visit ccclib.org
