Even a silly goose knows that the best card in your wallet is a library card! 🪿🪿📚

Thank you to Kiki (white Sebastopol goose) and Mei (American Buff goose) for joining us at our Study Hall program yesterday to bring some much needed levity to the students of Forest Grove.

Today, there will be another study hall, from 4pm-5:15pm, in the Rogers Room. There will be guinea pigs in attendance! 🐹🐹🐹

If you are looking for somewhere to lock-in and study, it is the place to be. Snacks and visits with cute animals are a bonus!

Did you know that the library has Tonieboxes in our Library of Things? What is a Toniebox, you ask?

Tonieboxes are audio players for kids, activated by different sets of figures (also available to put on hold through the library 😉)!

Kids can tap, tilt, or squeeze to navigate their way through their favorite songs, stories, games, and more. No screens, menus, or ads in sight.

Place one on hold here: bit.ly/FGtonies

Busted blender? Wayward waffle iron? Vindictive vacuum cleaner? Don't pitch those broken household items - bring them to our Repair Fair on Saturday, June 20th!

Volunteers will be on hand in the Rogers Room between 1:00 and 4:00 PM to diagnose and possibly fix small appliances, electronics, toys, clothing, jewelry, computers, and mobile devices. (Please note that gas-powered or hazardous items, vehicles, and weapons are not allowed, and volunteers do not offer clothing alteration or tailoring services.)

If you’d like to register your item for repair (limit of two items per person), or if you’re interested in volunteering to help fix stuff, follow the link below and scroll down to the blue buttons in the Events section.

The pieces currently up in the library, from Pacific University Public Art Project students, are simply incredible.

Come check out the faux "stained glass" art that is bringing so much vibrant color to our windows!
