Summer Reading Programs Start June 9th

Both our adult and youth summer reading programs begin on June 9th! This year, the theme is "Level Up at Your Library," so we are bringing back our reading challenge gameboard. However, this year, you get to pick a reading type that lines up with one of five fantasy-game roles. Do you read like a fighter, wizard, cleric, bard, or rogue? Find out which class fits you best and take on that unique reading challenge! Adult sign-ups begin in June and the program runs until the end of August. Youth can sign up for their SRP right now!

Walking Group - Fridays at 9:30am

Did you know that the library has been working with OHSU for two years on a walking group study? During the study the group wasn't open to the public but the study is done and we can now welcome everyone at our walking group! Join a cheerful group of walkers for Friday morning strolls. Each walk is usually under an hour and over flat land. Sometimes we go a little long, but more often we go a little short. Typically, our walks start at one of three locations: the library and the surrounding neighborhoods, Tractor Supply parking lot over to and through Garden Lake Park, and Lynx Hollow Park and the beautiful paths there. Email Nick to get on the group email list and learn the location of the next walk and any weather-related or other location changes.

Knitting Group - Every Saturday at 11am

Every Saturday at 11 our local knitting expert Sandra is at the library, she can help with pretty much any knitting question you might have, or you can also just come in and hang out and work on a project!

Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am

Join us every Tuesday morning at 11am for coffee and books at our book club. No need to stress about finding the book club book and staying on pace with everyone else. Read what you want at your own speed and share with us when you are ready. Everyone who comes talks about the books they are reading or have recently finished. No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.
