Storytime

The library hosts a weekly storytime and family hour every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Children of all ages are encouraged to attend the program. We’ll read books, sing songs, and have complete access to the library to play and check out books without the expectation of quiet.
Please note that due to COVID-19, library storytime is canceled until we can host programs again.

Outreach

The library’s mission includes outreach to groups that may not have access to the library. We work with Canyon Rim Assisted Living Center and Mid Columbia Children’s Council in Tygh Valley. The library maintains several Little Free Libraries throughout the service area.

We want to accommodate the community’s needs during this time, particularly if there is a need for internet access.

Beginning September 28, the Civic Center will have three rooms available to reserve for use by the public. The rooms can be reserved for 45-minute blocks during the library’s open hours. The Multipurpose Room can have a maximum of 10 people at a time. Each Reading Room in the library can have a maximum of two people at a time.

Anyone under the age of 12 needs to be accompanied by a responsible person over the age of 14 at all times. No food or drinks other than water are allowed in the rooms. Statewide requirements for mask use and social distancing will apply.

Please call the library at 541-395-2208 to reserve the rooms.
