TEMPORARY LIBRARY CLOSURE!!!

To Patrons of the Langlois Public Library(LPL)

TEMPORARY LIBRARY CLOSURE

Effective September 5, 2019 the Library will be closed for a brief period to reorganize staffing, finances, and policies. During this hiatus patrons may still return books and DVDs to the LPL book drop and check out materials at any other Coastline library. We regret this inconvenience to our patrons.

The Library’s financial stability is the LPL Board’s top priority. The Library needs about $35,000 for our usual operations from July 1 through mid- November when property taxes come in. But this year on July 1 we had some large unanticipated expenses to deal with and only $27,000 available to spend. Today we no longer have enough money to continue business as usual. We will be exploring options for cost-cutting and for additional funding.

The public is invited to a

Special Meeting at the Library, Wednesday, September 18, 6:30 PM

for a status review, Q&A, and public input. We hope to re-open soon after.

Our thanks to the Curry County Library Network, and in particular the Port Orford Public Library, for their help and guidance during this period of reorganization.

The Board is seeking dedicated volunteer participation to be part of the Langlois Public Library family. Volunteers are needed: to assist staff with check-in, check-out and shelving; for lawn mowing and grounds care; for Library website and patron bulletin board upkeep. For information call 541-348-2021 or email volunteers.lpl@gmail.com .

The community of Langlois and all LPL patrons are needed to help plan, build, and maintain the future of our Library.

Susan Orbom, Chair, LPL Board

Bullet strikes trailer while traveling over Floras Creek on 101.

On Tuesday, July 2nd, a volunteer firefighter from the Millington Fire Department was transporting fire suppression equipment, emergency medical supplies, and camping gear to an event in Ophir. Driving south down 101, just south of town at approx. 12:00 to 12:30 he heard something hit his open trailer in the area around the Flores Creek bridge. Upon later inspection it was discovered that the trailer had been shot. The bullet passed through a table, a solar cell unit, and lodged in a wood tent pole. The incident was reported to the Curry County Sheriffs Department. The tent pole with the bullet was taken as evidence. The bullet is reported to be a 30 caliber.
 
     If anyone has information on this event please call the Curry County Sheriffs Department at 800-543-8471 

Surpises in Langlois

Very nice langlois writeup from Sotheby's International Realty

Langlois, Oregon, an “unincorporated community” 17 miles south of Bandon and 13 miles north of Port Orford is one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” kind of places. It has a population of fewer than 200 souls, and from the highway one will see a restaurant, market, coffee shop, farm store, library, and post office. Langlois, however, is much more than meets the eye. Despite its relatively uneventful history, it’s taken on a fairly hip vibe recently, and it seems to just be getting hipper.

Langlois sits just under 2.5 miles from the ocean as the crow flies and just north of where Floras Creek meanders its way under the highway on its way to the New River and the Pacific. Approaching it from the north, one notices rolling hills, flat farmland, and most of all, verdant green as far as the eye can see.
