Greetings City Lights Fans,

We love going for walks in our neighborhood and seeing some of our members out and about. Of course, the questions about reopening are inevitable--and we are happy to tell you what we know. We are looking at the progress we make toward Phase 2 reopening in Lane County and diligently planning on how to manage social distancing and other guidelines to make City Lights a comfortable and safe space. That will necessitate some modifications. You may also be aware that all new releases have been radically postponed--many until 2021--so we are gauging the availability of new titles as well as the right timing for staff to safely return. Until now, we had turned off all membership and gift pass sales on our website--we wanted to be sure we COULD manage to survive this and return to honor your purchase. We've turned those sales back on. 

In fact, we've added an additional button: DONATE! If you already have a membership and simply want to help us reopen (we are still sorting out our budget for those upgrades, but they will potentially be north of $10k) then the Donate button will get you to the right place. THANK you for all your good works and patience--and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Meantime, we continue featuring titles in our virtual cinema, and our new movie this week, Nothing Fancy: Diana Kennedy, is an absolute delight. Many of you may remember Diana Kennedy, the British cooking queen who popularized Mexican cooking with books and TV shows in the 80's and 90's. She's still going strong--and still cooking--and is an absolute riot to spend a couple of hours with. Check out the trailer below and consider a virtual purchase. 

With that, we leave you to your memorable Memorial Day Weekend. Stay well!

Michael & Susan
