Summer of Local Heroes: State Representative

And last but not least, our final guest reader for Family Story Time this summer will be our very own Oregon State Representative, Margaret Doherty. After stories, kids will get to participate in a vote to determine the first story time theme of the school year. See you at 10:15 and 11:15 in the Community Room this Friday, August 14.

Summer of Local Heroes Guest Reader: Firefighter

Join us this Friday, July 31 at 10:15 and 11:15 in the Community Room for our guest reader, Lt. Tim Weathers, of Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue. After stories, he will get decked out in all his firefighter gear just like he does every time he goes to fight a fire.

Summer of Local Heroes Guest Reader: Timber Joey

This Friday, July 17, our next Family Story Time guest reader is the Portland Timbers' own Timber Joey!!! Because he is in such high demand, he will be reading at the 10:15 session only. After stories, kids will get a chance to ask Timber Joey any questions they want. But don't worry, if you can't make it at 10:15, I'll still hold a story time at 11:15, this time sans Timber Joey. See you in the Community Room!

Summer of Local Heroes Guest Reader: Pediatrician

Don't forget that Dr. Kirsten Crowley will be my guest reader this Friday, June 26 at 10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. in the Community Room. Kids will get the chance to listen to their hearts with the doctor's own stethoscope after stories!

Summer of Local Heroes

In honor of our hero-themed Summer Reading Program, I am so excited to announce that several local heroes will be guest readers at Family Story Time on Fridays mornings. Guest readers will read a book and kids will have a chance to do something special with them after the story time. On days when I have guest readers, story time will be held in the Community Room, and attendees will not be limited. Here is the schedule so far, although I also hope to get a police officer.

• June 26--10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.Dr. Kirsten Crowley, pediatrician. Kids will get the opportunity to listen to their hearts with a stethoscope.
• July 17--10:15 a.m. ONLY Timber Joey, Portland Timbers mascot. There will be a Q&A with Timber Joey. (Sorry, no chainsaw in the library!)
• July 31--10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Lt. Tim Weathers, firefighter. See Lt. Weathers dress up in his full fire gear, ready to fight a fire.
• August 14--10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Margaret Doherty, Oregon State Representative. Vote on the theme for the first story time of the school year.
