With Central Library up and running (thanks for making the first two weeks so magical–and busy!!), it's a good reminder to slow down and appreciate our smaller branches. The cozy, quiet Sisters Library is a great place to curl up with a new book 🥰

Libraries = Community ❤️

Earlier this month, the Redmond Library hosted a Volunteer Expo, pairing members of the community with volunteer positions at over 30 local organizations including: Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity, CASA, Healing Reins, Camp Fire, Juniper Group Sierra Club, and dozens more!

Thank you to all of the organizations that participated and to all the community members looking for places to donate their time and energy. We love fostering connection and community in and outside of the library. Keep an eye on our calendar for similar events throughout the year. 🥰

This Saturday! Join the library for a free workshop focused on three essential knots for outdoor adventures: the Bowline, Alpine, Butterfly, and Trucker’s Hitch. ⛓️‍💥

Participants will learn when and how to tie each knot, ensuring they are reliable and secure. The session also includes a photo talk about Jeska's upcoming Arctic expedition and lessons from past expeditions, followed by a Q&A. Participants will leave with practical knot-tying skills and a take-home reference guide (available in English and Spanish upon request).

Free registration is required on our website: dpl.pub/calendar

One of the most common questions we get: “Central? Why is it called Central Library?” 👀

While the building isn’t located in the center of Bend, it is central to the region and helps connect library services across Deschutes County.

The new Central Library centralizes many library functions, allowing materials to move more quickly between all library locations in La Pine, Sunriver, Sisters, Redmond, and Bend while supporting the county’s largest collection and busiest library location. 📚

WHEW! We made it through the first couple of days in our new Central Library.

Day one was non-stop: children playing, teens studying, friends catching up, parents drinking coffee, and a ton of books being checked out! We welcomed over 4,000 customers, checked out 7,504 items, and the community returned 2,263 books and movies and games. What an amazing first day, let's do it all over again 😅🙃
