Every Kid in a Park

Incase you haven't heard, there's a new program called, "Every Kid in a Park" where all fourth graders are eligible for a free one-year pass to use with their families to visit any of the 2,000 federally-managed lands and waters, including national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and marine sanctuaries.  I wished I could go back in time and be in fourth grade again just so I could take advantage of this awesome program!  For more information, visit: https://www.everykidinapark.gov/

Walk ‘n’ Roll to the Library Week, Sept. 7-13

Make the most of the spectacular September weather and our location on the Fanno Creek Trail by walking, biking, scooting or skating to the library between Sunday September 7th and Saturday September 13th. Visit us at the Children’s or Adult Reference Desks, tell us that you walked or rolled (on human-powered wheels) and get a small prize and a big high five!

Curious about the best route? You can find bike maps at the library or on the city’s website, or use your favorite map app or website to get directions.  And check out the city's self-guided tour of new parks and trail projects for another fun route to take!
