Directors from the Clackamas County libraries met in Sandy on January 10th for a day-long retreat. We are united in our missions to provide information services and library materials in our communities, and have common issues and concerns with the database we share. It is a lively group and we do enjoy getting together.

On the first Tuesday of the month we offered a Technology Tools class to assist participants in learning to use their electronic devices. Over the last few months we have helped folks with Kindles, Nooks, laptops, printers, phones, notebooks, and general internet searching.

On January 16 Monica offered a Henna tattoo program. The teens had a lot of fun making beautiful “tattoos” on themselves and each other.

On January 22, a group met in the community room to view the movie Numen: the healing power of plants. The host partnered with Organic Sandy and there were about 20 people present. Our community room was a great venue for this successful program.

The family movie on January 25 was City of Ember.
