Take Off Program A preschool learning outreach program of the Umatilla County Special Library District. When you can read, you can “Take Off!” to anywhere you choose!

The Take Off Program is the early literacy outreach program of the Umatilla County Special Library District. The program serves children from birth to kindergarten by partnering with early childhood educators within Umatilla County. While we hope that every child visits their local library and experiences the programs and everything the library has to offer, we realize not all children get this opportunity. To promote the development of the early literacy skills necessary to successfully begin kindergarten, services are delivered to children where they attend preschool and/or childcare.

It’s back… 👀

After a year of eerie silence, the pool pass incentive has returned. The toddlers are coming… and they’re about to take over the library. Tiny footsteps. Familiar songs. An alarming number of requests for “one more book.”

Attend 10 story times between now and May 31, and receive a season pool pass to the aquatic center for every member of your immediate family.

🕷️ Thursdays at 10:15 a.m.
🕸️ Saturdays at 11 a.m.

You’ve been warned. Bring your little monsters.

As we finish our "9 to 5" today on 9/25, we honor the legacy of the late Dolly Parton 🦋

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library makes it possible for the Imagination Library of Oregon to provide free books to children from birth to age five. Each month, a new book is mailed directly to the child’s home at no cost to the family.

Families can receive titles in English, bilingual English/Spanish, and select titles in Braille and audio through a collaboration with American Printing House for the Blind (APH) for children (or children with family members) who are blind or low vision.
