\"IMG_7673\"<\/a>\"IMG_7681\"<\/a>December 5th was our Teddy Bear Tea<\/strong> at the Sandy Library. \u00a0Kids and stuffies had a great time at this special storytime, then the stuffies spent the night at the library. \u00a0Photos of their adventures were given to the kids when they picked their stuffies up the next day.<\/p>\n

The Sandy Public Library was one of the sponsors of the December 4th Christmas Tree Lighting<\/strong> on the plaza. \u00a0We had a table at the event, and talked about library programs and services with many people.<\/p>\n

\"check-in-page-001\"<\/a>On December 6th, we held our first Check-In Circle<\/strong>.\u00a0The Circle (or council) is an ancient form that has been gathering us into respectful conversation for thousands of years in many cultures around the world.This provides a shift from informal socializing or opinionated discussion into a receptive attitude of thoughtful speaking and deep listening.
\nBe curious. \u00a0This program was so successful that we plan to continue it monthly.<\/p>\n

On December 18th we held a \"Holiday<\/a>DIY Holiday Gift Making<\/strong> for Teens at Antfarm. \u00a0This was a really great program, but had low attendance. \u00a0There were holiday parties going on this day. \u00a0We will likely not hold a program for Teens in December next year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On December 20-21, we partnered with a local crafts person to hold a Holiday Bazaar<\/strong>. \u00a0This was very last minute, so also had low attendance. \u00a0Library staff were not convinced that we were the best venue for this event.<\/p>\n

On December 27th, the Library Photography Group<\/strong> met.<\/p>\n

Exhibits<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"teenart\"<\/a>\"teenart2\"<\/a>The High School Art Students had their art on exhibit for the month of December. \u00a0It was a great show! \u00a0We plan to partner with the Sandy High School\u00a0each December.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 2nd-3rd, key staff from the Sandy and Hoodland Libraries attended a\u00a0two day\u00a0RFID workshop\/planning session. RFID will be implemented in every library throughout Clackamas County by September 15th. \u00a0This will streamline check-out and check-in, offer the possibility of easy inventory, and the opportunity for better security of items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
