Welcome to 2016!

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2016!  

The Library is starting off the new year with some good news!

Thursdays Are Back at the Library in January… and so is the coffee shop!

Beginning Thursday, January 7th, the Library will re-open on Thursdays from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Hungry for some help keeping your New Year’s Resolutions? Thirsty for some good, free live music? Or simply looking for a cozy place to get together with friends and combat a blustery January? Now you’ll be able to feed your information needs seven days a week!!!

If you’d like to feed your body as well as your mind, check out the new Literary Feast Café in January. Owner Joslyn Webster said the café will offer organic gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, smoothies and pastries. The Literary Feast will also feature coffees and teas from Portland-area companies.

Webster and her family are Tigard residents, avid readers and library users. Each item on the menu will be named after a book. Visit us at the library this month and indulge in both literary and culinary treats!

New Library Hours

The library will be CLOSED on Thursdays, beginning July 5th.  All other open hours will remain the same.  The closure is part of citywide budget reductions.  Thursdays were chosen because we were already closed on Thursday mornings and it is not as busy as other days of the week.  We will probably be busier on the six days we are open.  Some programs have been eliminated and others will be held at different times.  Check the weekly schedule on the right side of this blog for a current listing of library programs for children and families.  Also check out the library website for programming information as well at www.tigard-or.gov/library.  Please note that City Hall and the Permit Center will be closed on Fridays and will have new operating hours.  For more details, visit: http://www.tigard-or.gov/hours.asp.
