EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER <br />July 14, 2005 <br /> <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 777 Pearl Street, Room 105 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401-2793 <br /> (541) 682-5010 <br /> (541) 682-5414 (FAX) <br /> www.ci.eugene.or, us <br /> <br />LIBRARY SHELVES RUNNETH OVER WITH NEW FILMS, AUDIOBOOKS, COMPACT DISCS <br />FLYING HIGH: GALA AND FOUR ONE-ACT COMEDIES <br />EUGENE RENTAL HOUSING CODE PROGRAM <br />NATIONAL MAYORS' RIDE ROLLS INTO EUGENE TO PROMOTE BICYCLE GREENWAY <br /> <br />Library Shelves Runneth Over with New Films, Audiobooks, CDs <br />Who is responsible for the delighted outbursts at Eugene Public Library? It is happy browsers discovering <br />the 6,000 new media items now available at all three library locations - Downtown, Bethel, and Sheldon. <br /> <br />Library staff has spent many busy months choosing, purchasing and, with the assistance of Library <br />volunteers, processing these new materials. Library visitors are thrilled to find an impressive range of <br />choices, including more than 2,000 audiobooks, both on tape and CD, hundreds of theatrical-feature <br />DVDs (including last year's Oscar contenders), and multimedia instructional packages on everything <br />from fixing a drain spout to learning American Sign Language. Also new to the collection is a wide <br />variety of concert, folk, and popular music CDs from around the world. The new media expansion is the <br />result of a "yes" vote on the 2002 Eugene Public Library levy, and donations to the Eugene Public Library <br />Foundation's New Media campaign. <br /> <br />Browsing the shelves is fun and often leads to surprising discoveries. However, for those looking for a <br />particular film or recording, a visit to the Library catalog or website (www.eugene-or.gov) is <br />recommended. For tips on searching by format (video, DVD, CD) as well as by artist, volume number, <br />episode number, or topic, ask Library staff or call 682-5450. <br /> <br />Items that are already checked out may be reserved with a "hold" request. Library Director Connie Bennett <br />says, "People love the convenience of Eugene Public Library's increasingly advanced technology and <br />self-service features. You can search the catalog and place holds on items from home, work, or anywhere <br />you have Intemet access. When the item is in, we'll notify you--by e-mail, if you want!" <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library at 682-5450. <br /> <br />FIyin.q Hi.qh: Gala and Four One-Act Comedies <br />Join Mayor Piercy for a celebratory evening on Tuesday, July 26, at the Hult Center when the Lane <br />Independent Living Alliance (LILA) presents a catered gala in Studio 1 beginning at 6:30 p.m. The gala <br />will be followed by four one-act comedies in the Soreng Theater, written and directed by Eugene's own <br />award-winning playwright Bjo Ashwill. This event celebrates the 15th anniversary of the Americans with <br />Disabilities Act. <br /> <br />LILA is a consumer-controlled, non-profit organization serving citizens with a wide range of disabilities. <br />The organization's mission is to enhance options which maximize independent living by empowering <br />people with disabilities, developing their leadership skills and organizing them around a variety of issues <br />crucial to their lives.
