It is one of our very important fund raisers. We fund several children’s programs plus other library projects. If you haven’t seen the calendar, it has a picture by one of the elementary students that is the winner of our art contest in the spring. On the 2017 calendar, the picture will be artwork by 4th grader, Rose Penaloza. It has business ads from local businesses, and on each day of each month there are birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and meeting notices. If anyone is interested in putting their family birthdays, anniversaries, memorials or meeting notices on the calendar it is only 50¢ per listing. We have a limited capacity for business ads but still have some room. It is a great way to advertise. If you would like to ask about an ad, put something on the calendar or order a calendar (they make great Christmas gifts and only cost $4.50 including shipping) please call the library at 783-3315 and leave your name and number to have a member of the calendar committee contact you. You can also sign up at the library to be contacted. If you ordered a calendar or put listings on the calendar last year, you will automatically be contacted by one of the calendar committee persons.

The IFPL affects lands administered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Sheldon-Hart Mountain and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complexes. The only Lakeview District BLM lands not included in this are those within the Klamath Falls Resource Area west of Langell Valley. This area is under the protection of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). For information on specific restrictions in areas under ODF’s fire protection, please visit http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/Fire/Pages/Restrictions.aspx. Under IFPL 2, the following fire prevention requirements are in place: Power saws and welding equipment may not be operated between the hours of 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. All power saw exhaust systems must be in good repair and include a screen type spark arrester of 0.023 inches or less. All power saw operators must be in possession of the following equipment: A long-handled, round point shovel with a blade not less than 8 inches wide. A pressurized chemical fire extinguisher no less than 8 ounces capacity by weight. Before refueling a power saw, the refueling spot must be clear of all flammable material, including vegetation. The chainsaw must be restarted only after the operator has moved away from the refueling area. All power saw operators must stay in the cutting area for one hour after the chainsaw is shut off to watch for fire starts. Personal and commercial woodcutters are reminded of their responsibility to stay informed of current IFPL s and all restrictions that apply to activities conducted on public lands. Failure to comply with the fire precautionary requirements may result in a violation notice. For more information on the IFPL restrictions, please visit www.scofmp.org/lifc.shtml. Fire danger in the area remains high and visitors are asked to be aware of their surroundings and to be prepared for changing conditions. This includes reporting visible smoke that could be from a wildfire. To report a fire, please call 911. In addition, many parts of the SCOFMP area this week have been under red flag warnings and fire weather watches with low relative humidity and strong winds, increasing the risk of wildfire – not only from lightning, but also human causes. The agencies ask that the public be careful with anything that can throw a spark while out on federal or state public lands.

We are also planning a nature art overnight camp/workshop for adults and teens 16 & up on July 29 & 30. (From 1 pm Fri thru 3 pm Sat.)
