Dog Man and Friends love the library! We are thrilled to invite you to an action-packed celebration full of humor, creativity, and heroic fun! Inspired by the wildly popular graphic novel series, this program is designed for children and families to explore storytelling, crafts, games, and imaginative adventures together. Activities are geared toward kids ages 6–10 and their families, though all ages are welcome to join the fun. Costumes and capes are encouraged!

We will be taking donations of pet food for the West Linn Food Pantry.

No registration required, but you can sign up for a reminder email on the library web page (or link in comments).

🐦 Our newest StoryWalk® at Fields Bridge Park is ready to enjoy! Take a stroll through Birds by Kevin Henkes, a beautiful picture book about a young girl who carefully observes the birds all around her—their colors, shapes, and movements.

While you're at the park, keep an eye out for local birds of your own! We've included a bird picture dictionary at the end of the StoryWalk® to help you identify some of the feathered friends you might spot along the way.
