GAPS families are invited to join us for a Community Wellness Event on Thursday, January 22, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM at Liberty Elementary School.

Families can access vaccines through the Linn County Public Health Mobile Vaccine Service and connect with a variety of local community resources. This event is especially helpful as a reminder that the GAPS vaccine exclusion date is February 25. Students must have either complete vaccine records or a completed nonmedical vaccine exemption on file.

Community partners on site will include Linn County Public Health, dental services, OHP navigation, SNAP benefits support, the Welcome Center, Jackson Street, Casa Latinos Unidos, Lumina, Fish, and Food Hero.

We hope to see you there!

Yarn for youth! Knitting for niblings! Crochet for the kids! We're teaming up with the Albany Public Library on December 3rd from 5-7pm and December 14th from 2-4pm to host community knitting events in support of youth!

Help us make hats and scarfs for youth in the community, we'll have snacks, friendly faces, and some supplies on hand to craft with. We'd also love experienced folks in the community to supply their own yarn and tools so we have plenty to go around.

We'll see you next Tuesday!

We are meeting a week early this month due to the holiday!

Tweens in 5th-8th grade are invited every month to discuss books! Each month book club will chose what book they want to read together, but everyone is welcome to come even if they didn't get the chance to read that month's pick (just be ready for spoilers).

This month we will be reading The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

Pick up a copy at the Children’s desk at the Main Library or check out a digital copy from CloudLibrary! Limited copies available.
