Programs

Sandy Library held our July Library Coffee House on July 3rd.  Despite the looming holiday and the fact that First Friday was not happening downtown, we had 67 people attend to hear No Time 2 Lose, a great bluegrass band.  People who came were very complimentary of the music.

Summer Reading is in full swing.  We have had 508 kids, 86 teens, and 33 adults sign up at the Sandy Library.  At Hoodland Library we have had 46 kids, 13 teens, and 11 adults sign up. 25 kids have signed up from the Vista Apartments. People have until August 22nd to complete Summer Reading to be eligible for prizes.  Our kids Summer Reading programs have been popular.  In July 88 kids attended the programs in Sandy, 68 in Hoodland, and 83 at the Vista Apartments.

Outreach

The Sandy Library had an information booth at Sandy Mountain Festival.  Over the course of the two days, we chatted with over 121 people about library services and programs.

Building

A new art exhibit was installed at the Sandy Library. Clackamas County artists are presenting work inspired by the book All the Light You Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.  The exhibit will be up until September 2nd.

The new Hoodland Library is now open!  It took many hours of staff and volunteer people power to get it done by August 1st.  A special thanks to SandyNet for toiling overnight to make sure we had Internet service the day we opened.  Thank you to Chris Wilhelmi for leading the charge while I was out of the office.  She is truly invaluable!  The Hoodland Llibrary is now located at 24525 E Welches Road.  We will hold a Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, August 15th 1-3pm.
