On Sunday, December 10th Two Spirit Jazz will perform as a duo with Suzanne Callaway on Vocals/Guitar and Theresa Riccardi on Drums. The group’s repertoire comes from the Great American songbook and from the vast supply of American jazz and blues. Vocalist Suzanne Callaway is also a composer and often includes some of her originals at performances. You can learn more about Two Spirit Jazz and sample their music on their website.

The duo will perform around the hearth starting at 2 pm. A Friends of Tualatin Library donation supports this performance as part of the library’s Sunday Music Series.

The Tualatin Library will celebrate its 40th anniversary on Sunday, November 19th. The celebration starts at 1 pm; cake will be served.

There will also be an hour of music by the hearth provided by the group Under the Lake starting at 2 pm. “Effervescent, vivacious and all-together engaging” is how smoothjazz.com describes Under the Lake’s music, an original sound that one reviewer says “doesn’t sit easy in any category, thanks to its heavy doses of funkified bass and occasional soul references.” You can sample their sound on their website.

Portland-based songwriter Malachi Graham will perform around the hearth at the Tualatin Library in the latest installment of the library’s Sunday Music Series.

Malachi writes lush, intimate Americana inspired by complicated women. She draws on history, poetry, and cinema in character-rich narratives. Her forceful and nuanced electric guitar and vocals work together to tell strikingly sincere stories.

Malachi’s performance is scheduled for Sunday, September 24th at 2 pm. The Tualatin Library is located at 18878 SW Martinazzi Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon.

We’re thrilled to report that the Friends of the Tualatin Library made a donation of $550 to the Texas Library Association’s Disaster Relief Fund for aid to libraries devastated by the flooding of Hurricane Harvey.

On September 1st we announced that proceeds from our book sales from 9/1/17 to 9/8/17 would go to Texas. The base cash donation from the Friends’ library sale shelves for the week was $275. That total is about $50 higher than is typical, so we’re sure patrons were adding extra and rounding up to help this effort. There were four very generous check donations in our cash box as well, bringing the total to $550.

Thanks a million to all who helped us get this effort off the ground quickly when the disaster was foremost in peoples’ minds. As we can only imagine, the road to recovery is now a long one and the Friends are happy to have made a contribution.
