donation

Friends of the Tualatin Library have donated $500 to support the library's "Make it @ Your Library" program for teens. The Make-it sessions are scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of the month through April, 4 pm to 6 pm in the Teen Room. Teens will have the opportunity to work on the library's monthly project or use the supplies on hand to create their own. The February project will be LED pop-up cards. The Make-it sessions are free and intended for teens in grades 6 through 12. For more information, check out the library's calendar.  

The Friends contributed $2000 to fund the Tualatin Library's Oregon Battle of the Books program. OBOB is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension initiative for students in 3rd-12th grades. Our contribution will pay for books for fifteen 3rd-5th grade students. Each student will receive two books per month from September through February. With OBOB, students are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, broaden reading interests, increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and encourage cooperative learning and teamwork among students.

Grupo Condor will perform at the Tualatin Library's Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros (Day of the Children/Day of the Books) celebration. The Friends donated funds for this free family event which will take place at the library on Saturday May 2nd from 2 pm to 4 pm. Come with the whole family and enjoy the music, activities, refreshments, and balloon animals.
