LANGLOIS PUBLIC LIBRARY PANDEMIC RESPONSE PLAN as of 3/14/2020

The State of Oregon has now limited gatherings, and closed all k-12 schools. The library has removed all toys and games from circulation, and will be cancelling all meetings
and gatherings until April 8th. We will also be implementing other control measures to help insure that we are doing all we can to help prevent the spread of this virus.

1. . Staff will wipe down all incoming items, and set them aside for 24 hrs before putting them in circulation. This will also pertain to holds items. We know from past experience that anything more than this is not effective, but Covid seems to be more persistent than past outbreaks, so we will err on the side of caution.
2. We will be limiting Library hours to allow staff to wipe down as many surfaces as possible, and to wipe down the computers.  Computers will be wiped down after each use by staff, though patrons will be offered wipes to do so themselves. This will also allow time for staff to deal with the increased work of taking care of incoming items. Staff will also wipe down at the end of shift.
3. Patron Library hours will be: Monday 2 PM - 6 PM Tuesday - Saturday 12 PM - 4 PM (We will move back to regular hours as soon as is prudent.) Staff will be present from 10 am - 5 pm.
4. We will also institute curbside service to limit contact. Patrons will only need to call the library and a staff member will bring their items out (this is only for the duration of this crisis). Curbside service will be available from 12 pm - 4 pm.
5. The library internet will be on and accessible from the parking lot even when the library is closed to patrons.
6. If you feel ill in any way, please don’t come to the library even to return materials. We will take care of any overdue fines.
7. ALL meetings, programs, and events are postponed till further notice.

The LPL Board is closely monitoring and evaluating the changing situation and will adjust our response plan accordingly. For the duration, stay home, stay healthy! Let’s
protect our community.

If you can't avoid going out, remember social distancing is the phrase of the day.

Lloyd Charles Kreutzer July 6, 1927 - March 7, 2020

A celebration of the life of Langlois resident Lloyd Charles Kreutzer, will be held 1 p.m., Friday, March, 20, 2020 at the Langlois Community Church with a potluck to follow at the former Langlois Cheese Factory.

Lloyd was born July 6, 1927 in Bandon, along with his twin brother, Lowell, the son of Louis and Olive Farrier Kreutzer. He died March 7, 2020 in Bandon at the age of 92 years, 8 months and one day.

Lloyd grew up on his family ranch and would deliver milk before school then go to school and then come back to work on the ranch. His driving began early and his first accident was at age 5 when he was driving the pickup for his dad and hit an apple tree in the orchard. Beyond this he would drive truck for 80 years. 

On August 6, 1950, Lloyd married Geraldine Holycross.

After graduating from Langlois High School, Lloyd drove truck for various companies and then in 1963, he and Geraldine bought the ranch from his parents and he raised cattle and sheep and milked cows. He always had a love of reading and in the past few years especially enjoyed reading history.

His wife of nearly 65 years, Geraldine, preceded him in death on February 5, 2016.

He is survived by his daughters, Vicki and Richard Elias and Kristy Sandez; twin brother Lowell Kreutzer; daughter-in-law, Laurie Kreutzer; grandchildren, Kelly, Amanda, Tobey, Keegan and Jenny,  Carrie, Tracye and Kevin, Scott and Bomen; great-grandchildren, Bryson, Jameaka, Jayme, Dannika, Elizabeth, Gabe, Lexi, Kyle, Bailey and Scarlett and a great-great-grandson, Emmitt.

In addition to Geraldine he was preceded in death by his parents; son, Tom; daughter, Bonnie; granddaughters, Shayna and Angelena; brother, Kenneth; and sisters, Anne and Ruth.

The family suggests memorials be made to the Bandon Historical Society in Lloyd’s memory.

Friends may offer condolences online at westrumfuneralservice.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Amling-Schroeder Funeral Service, Bandon. Read more about Lloyd Charles Kreutzer Memorial Friday
