library. Our service group was excited to support OBOB. The library took care of the ordering and dividing books up, and placed a bookplate with “In support of OBOB from the Newberg Early Bird Rotary and Newberg Public Library” in each book. It was also a
great way for our public library to connect with our school libraries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

questions. In support of OBOB programming at other public libraries, these questions will be available only to public libraries by December 1, 2016. Please email me if you would like to receive them. They will be available on the Newberg Public Library website
for everyone at the end of January 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
