The picture shown here doesn’t do justice to their charming display. Among many other items it includes two one-million dollar bills, a miniature book titled “The Library Cat,” and a bookmark with the quote “Life is too serious to be taken seriously.” Be sure to check it out when you come to the sale.

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.

The kickoff for Summer Reading is scheduled for Wednesday, June 1st. The library is hosting four programs that day:

• Mo Phillips. At 11 am, Mo’s style of rock ‘n roll, blues and soul with just a smidge of country will have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers. Located at the Library Hearth.
• Teen Free Donut and Book Day. From 4 pm – 6 pm, teens (Grades 6-12) can sign up for summer reading and get a free donut and a free book in the Library Teen Room.
• Adam the Great Magician. At 6 pm, magician extraordinaire Adam the Great returns with his amazing tricks for all ages. He’ll be traveling all over the library.
• Joe Baker and the Kitchen Men. At 7 pm, Joe Baker and The Kitchen Men perform hot jazz, hillbilly and rhythm & blues in the Library Hearth Area.

Come on out and join the fun.

The Tualatin Library will host an Unlucky in Love party to uncelebrate Valentines Day. Teens in grades 6-12 are invited to make unromantic crafts, watch a sickly sweet movie, eat snacks, and more. The party is scheduled for Friday, February 12th, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Teen Room.

The Friends donated $250 for this event.
