CITY COUCIL PROCLAIMS NOVEMBER AS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' HERITAGE MONTH  
  
At the regular City Council meeting on November 4, 2025, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously passed a proclamation recognizing November as Indigenous Peoples’ Heritage Month. The proclamation was read by Council President Lucinda DiNovo.  
  
The proclamation honors the lasting influence of Indigenous peoples on the history and culture of Coos Bay, acknowledging their stewardship of the land, preservation of traditions and language, and ongoing contributions to the community. It also recognizes the city’s location on ancestral lands and the importance of Tribal restoration efforts.  
  
Residents are encouraged to join in celebrating the heritage, diversity, and achievements of Indigenous peoples throughout November and to express gratitude to local organizations that support and collaborate with the Indigenous community.

IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES AT THE LIBRARY  
  
November is International Games Month and the staff at the Coos Bay Public Library are happy to help you join in on the fun. We have games of all types that you can enjoy at home or sample with other community members at our monthly Game Night.    
  
Tabletop gamers rejoice! We have over 150 board games available for checkout, many of which would cost $40+ if purchased on your own. These include everything from kids’ games like ‘Pete the Cat Groovy Friendship Game’ and ‘It’s a Small World’ to more complicated games like ‘Dune’ or ‘Settlers of Catan’ (and its many expansion packs and variants). If classic games are more your cup of tea, we also have nostalgic picks like ‘Monopoly’, ‘Scrabble’, and ‘Trivial Pursuit’. Whether you like focusing on strategy, cooperation, or puzzles, we invite you to come check out (pun intended) our selection. If you are looking to meet other teen & adult players, try our monthly Game Night on the last Friday of each month. We provide games, snacks, and beverages – you bring your competitive spirit!   
  
If you enjoy video games, we carry a diverse array of titles for gaming systems such as Play Station (2-5), Xbox One, and Switch. Instead of spending $70 on a game you may or may not like, try one for free with your library card. Each card holder can check out three games at a time, giving you plenty to do indoors during our wet winter. Whether you enjoy cozy life sims, roguelikes, role-playing games, or first-person shooters, our collection of video games promises to show you the latest & greatest both AAA and indie game studios have to offer.   
  
If you are looking for an activity that is a bit more relaxing, try one of our jigsaw puzzles. We always keep community puzzles on our big library tables behind new fiction, and doesn’t working on a puzzle while gazing out our large windows at the rain sound just delightful? If you prefer to do a puzzle at home, we have dozens of them waiting for you. From a simple 300 piece to a challenging double-sided 1000 piece, you’ll surely find a puzzle with a difficulty level & design to light up your winter days. As an added bonus, puzzles are “checked out” on an honor system. No need for a card; just let us know how many you are taking and bring them back when you're done!  
  
So, if you are looking for a way to celebrate International Game Month without breaking the bank, or just to while away a rainy afternoon and stay out of “Trouble,” take a “Risk” at the Coos Bay Public Library and we will be happy to “Clue” you in to a game that’s right for you. We promise you won’t be “Sorry!” Featured News by City of Coos Bay

WATER QUALITY'S MOST WANTED  
  
Wipes, Fats, Oils and Grease cause problems every day in the City’s Sanitary Sewer System. You can help us by not putting them down the drain or flushing them.   
  
WIPES: Even if the package says “flushable” DO NOT FLUSH! Wipes do not break down like toilet paper and can clog your pipes from your home to the City’s infrastructure. Once they enter the City’s infrastructure, they can clog large pipes and break large pumps causing costly repairs.   
  
FATS OILS & GREASE (FOG): Be sure to destroy FOG by wiping dishes before turning the hot water on to get food debris off dishes. When FOG cools it solidifies and can clog your pipes from your home to the City’s infrastructure. Once in the City’s infrastructure FOG can cause sanitary sewer overflows into the streets of our town. Featured News by City of Coos Bay
