Edna Vazquez to perform at the library
Edna Vazquez will sing Spanish-language ballads with folk, rock, pop, and Mariachi influences at the Tualatin Library on Saturday, September 17th, 3 pm to 4 pm.
Vazquez was born in Mexico and sent to the US by her parents when she was a teenager. Since arriving in Oregon, she’s become a musician who performs original compositions that pay homage to her international influences with a passion that comes through in every note of her music. She lifts the audience’s spirits during her live performances with a vocal range that allows her to transition seamlessly between folk, rock, pop and Mariachi, all while exploring jazz stylings.
A Friends of the Tualatin Library donation in support of Hispanic Heritage Month made this performance at the library possible. We hope you enjoy it.
Eleanore Mickus reported that the Friends reached a milestone this week — we listed the 5000th book on our Amazon online book store. “We listed our first book on September 12, 2011, so it’s taken a bit less than five years to reach this point,” Eleanore said. “This may not have taken a village but it sure took a lot of Friends, hundreds of hours of work, and much appreciated assistance from the library staff.”
There will be carnival games, prizes, snacks, and fun for the family in English and Spanish at the Tualatin Library’s Bilingual Summer Carnival on Saturday, July 23rd. This fun event will be held in the Library Community Room, 11 am to 1 pm. The Friends contributed $400 for expenses.
On your mark, get set…READ! Sports is the theme of the Tualatin Library’s 2016 Summer Reading Program. This year the Friends donated $10,950 to fund the program.
