Library Crate for Teens & Tweens at the Library

The Douglas County Public Library is happy to announce a new free quarterly subscription service for teens and tweens. The Library Crate will help broaden their horizons through a staff-chosen selection of books catered towards their specific interests as well as some other goodies. Participants will sign up through a Google form, answering a variety of optional questions including favorite genre, genre tropes, favorite characters, food allergies, etc. Boxes will be prepared by staff and made available for pickup at the Minden Library, Zephyr Cove Branch, and the Bookmobile. Complete details can be found on the Google Form here: https://forms.gle/CJB1vHquwAT6sPPL8

Boxes are slated for March 1^st, June 1^st, September 1^st, and December 1^st. Sign up today!

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Douglas County Public Library.

Email the library at [email protected] to receive an invitation to our Discord server if you’d prefer to join digitally or to receive information about the current campaign. For an invite to the server please provide your name, age, and library card number. The current campaign is recommended for ages 13+.

Prior knowledge of the current system is not needed to play and we’re always happy to help new players along the way. If you would just like to attend to see how the game works and to gauge your own interest, spectator spots are always available.

Please note this is for ages 13+; the rules are the same as any program, and no foul or sexually explicit language will be tolerated.

The Zephyr Cove Library received grant funds for a self-service center for printing, scanning, and copying. Funds for this project were provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.

The self-service center is perfect for remote workers, families who are homeschooling their children, and everyone else who needs to print, scan, or make copies. In addition to the self-service center, the library offers a drop-in session for Basic Resume and Job Help. This service is available by appointment during the following times:

Tuesdays: 1:30-4:30
Wednesdays: 12:30-6:30
Thursdays: 1:30-4:30
Fridays: 10:00-12:30

Vanna Bells, Library Supervisor, has ten years’ experience assisting people with resumes, job applications, and teaching basic computer skills. If you have any questions, feel free to call the Zephyr Cove Library at 775-588-6411.
