PEOPLE
MAKING YOUR LIBRARY WORK
CUSTOMER PROFILE
LINDA & ALBERT ZLOTNIK
Aficionados of the great outdoors, Linda and Albert discovered their library provides ample reading
materials about travel as well as opportunities to seek adventure. “Most recently we attended the
Redmond Caves tour. The guide was an extremely knowledgeable archaeologist providing history and
stories along the way,” said Albert. “We live in such a beautiful place, but when someone explains the
geology behind what you’re looking at, it becomes a lot more interesting.” Each month, the library
hosts dozens of cultural programs on a variety of fascinating topics—all for free. “My entire life I’ve
made sure I can always find the nearest library,” says Linda. “Even though we moved here during the
pandemic, I learned how to browse and check things out easily.” With so many opportunities to learn
and explore through the library, the Zlotniks will have no trouble staying busy.

A Novel Idea … Unveiled!
In 2023 we celebrate 20 amazing years of our annual
community read project. A Novel Idea has taken readers
around the world and throughout time, and we’ve had
incredible discussions, thought-provoking programming, and
visits with authors along the way.
We’re going big for the 20th anniversary of this beloved
program, and we want you to be the first to know what we
have in store for 2023! We invite you to join us for the free
unveiling on December 3 at 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown
Bend Library. Not only will you be the first to know, you’ll
also be the first to get your hands on the next community
read. We’ll have trivia with prizes, light snacks, and a fun
evening of sharing the love of literature with others.
If you can’t join us on December 3, be sure to check in on our
website (dpl.pub/anovelidea) and our social media sites after
the unveiling to see what we have in store for you in 2023!
Note the temporary locations for the La Pine, Redmond, and Sisters Libraries beginning in January.
Exact dates for closures and opening of temporary locations are still in flux, so keep an eye on
dpl.pub/templocations, where we will share dates as soon as we have them finalized.
