Keep up to date with the December newsletter! December 13 will be our final Grab & Go kit day for the year, and for the near future. Our in-person programming schedule for January will be available soon! Storytime will also be moving from online to in-person. Tales with Tabby will relocate to our conference room on Thursdays and Fridays at 11:30am beginning January 13, 2022.

The Molalla Library will be closed on Thursday, November 25th and Friday, November 26th for the Thanksgiving holiday. We are grateful for all of you and your continued support this year and hope that everyone has a happy and safe holiday!

We had a busy week here at the library! Monday was our Grab & Go kit pick up date where we ran out in record time. We look forward to bringing our craft programs back to you in-person soon!

Tuesday we hosted our 1st Mini-Golf Par-Tee! Families teed off in the library stacks, challenging themselves in a series of 6 book-themed mini-golf holes. This program was so fun, look for it again soon!

Teens must be in 6th - 12th grade to participate and have a LINCC library card. More details are available at https://go.lincc.org/moteenbookbox.

Friday, October 8th from 8pm-9pm, the library is hosting the Rose City Astronomy Club at Fox Park. They will be bringing their telescopes and sharing their expertise about the night sky. Learn about the winter constellations, globular clusters, double stars, and more! Please dress very warmly and bring chairs or blankets. The library will supply you with flashlights with red cellophane on them to keep the light pollution down. This program is designed for ages 8+. The telescopes are very delicate instruments and need to be treated as such. If you have any questions, please contact Beka at the library. 503-829-2593

*This program will be canceled if the weather is rainy. Please check back.
