[R2R-OR] Friday, August 22nd Shoutout

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

In the past couple weeks I've had the privilege of visiting a few end-of-summer-reading library celebrations. I'm always so impressed with how well you all know your community and kids, the unique flavor of each library community, and how much fun kids are having at the library. Thanks for sharing your work and families during this busy end-of-summer and back-to-school time of transition.

This week, per usual, a lot of good things are happening in Oregon libraries:


  *   Creswell highlights free community kid haircuts<https://www.facebook.com/Creswell.Library/posts/pfbid038J3FbsVsRT46MGZotQN4hseDGxHPXZNn38bUzCQ7FaZ9LMVMVKgVbahaE9MCa866l> for back-to-school.


  *   Multnomah offers a great picture<https://www.facebook.com/multcolib/posts/pfbid0CwuDkpAboaLP4trwom79ZYzvH78P8kVdZBpB8PspjynaSijKZcUDT53JfnY8ivtul> of one of the things that's so wonderful about youth librarianship: We get to see kids grow up! Jane Corry, many of you know, has been working with and for kids for a long time, and this is such a fun time stamp of all her service.


  *   Salem worked with their Early Learning Hub<https://www.facebook.com/spl.oregon/posts/pfbid09cvguTujXy7UD1fNt2guYuv7c4DyME8Ah15Qw42zgc2JfD62YaAQ96o22gStCkFwl> on a grant to refresh some early lit collections.


  *   Scapoose had a unicorn visit<https://www.facebook.com/scappooselib/posts/pfbid023n3bitnhhMUTBgvTSUL8PEJ9BR5ZstGBzymGYNyPRwm3qMyP99ZQhG7S5AiWcgjKl>!



Thanks for all you do! I can't believe the last week of August is upon us - have a good weekend!


Best,
Greta
