Blind Date with a Book! 

An invitation to fill out a profile and get matched with a book, themed around love and matchmaking.

 We are running our Book Match Making service again! Come in and fill out a Match Making Profile, and our experts will match you with a book. We will give you a call when your book is ready for your date!

One of our wonderful patrons took this photo of their book date and the dinner they prepared for the occasion. It was too cute not to share! Her review was "good book, good food!"

The image features a cozy scene with a book by Jojo Moyes, a plate of pasta with tomatoes, and a glass of red drink.

BOBA: Battle of the Books for Adults - 2/7 - 6:30pm

Battle of the Books for Adults (BOBA)! Are you tired of the kids having all the fun reading and competing in
Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB)? Do they come home bragging about the awesome books they are
reading and gloating about their victories? Well, adults, your time has come. Join us for our first ever
BOBA event at the Creswell Library.


What is BOBA?


BOBA is a little like OBOB. If you don’t know what OBOB is don’t despair! You will form a team of up to
four members. Each team will be responsible for reading all 8 of the books on our BOBA list. It's probably a little late to get going now, but we hope to host another BOBA night again in the future!

Kitchen Capers is on a hiatus.

Kitchen Capers is taking a longer break than expected. We will let you know when, and if, we bring it back. Sorry!

Literary Art: Valentine's! - Wednesday, 2/4, at 5:00pm

Tech Help Office Hours - Thursday, 2/12, 1:00 - 2:00pm

Do you need help with a new phone? Stuck setting up your email? Can't get your Bluetooth headphones to work? Don't know what Bluetooth is, but want to know? Swing by for help with your tech, questions, and problems. We won't be able to help you with everything, but we will do our best!

Shelf Indulgence: Book Club - Monday, 2/23, at 5:00pm in-person and via Zoom

We select a new book to read each month, and we make an effort to read from different genres. We will be reading Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders! Email nick@creswell-library.org or call him at the library at 541-895-3053 to join.

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 to 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. The group will meet at Tractor Supply on the first Friday of each month. Every other Friday, the group will be meeting at the library. Email Nick@creswell-library.org to get on the group email list and learn the location of the next walk and any weather-related or other location changes.

Chair Yoga - Mondays 8:55am - 9:55am 

Please bring 2 beach towels to help support some of our yoga activities.

Chair Yoga, hosted by the amazing Deanna Hoover. Chair Yoga features 20 minutes of yoga in a chair, 20 minutes standing with a chair for support, and 20 minutes of light mat yoga. Please bring your own mat and two yoga blocks if you have them. 

The first Monday of the month, we will have coffee and tea available for people to sit down and chat with Deanna and others from the yoga group.

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.

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 come in, hang out, and work on a project!
