<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">From Esther's introduction, "Llamas, Adulting 101, Henna Art, Raptors,
and Trivia. Most people in Oregon typically would not think of these words in
connection with their local library. Yet, all of these are programs that have
been served up in our local libraries just in the past year alone. With
hundreds of programs covering even more diverse topics than these, perhaps the
more typical things people think about when it comes to programs are an author
talk, storytime, or book talk in the library. These <span>are still staple</span> library programs, but with this Oregon Library
Association Quarterly issue we will be sharing some unique ideas that you can
replicate at your library. From coffee and conversations to build community
relationships to llamas (yes, llamas!) to encouraging upcycling, the common
thread of all of the programs in this edition of the Oregon Library Association
Quarterly is that they are replicable and they come with “Here’s what worked,
here’s what didn’t work,” feedback from your colleagues to hopefully help you
jump-start your own ideas of what is possible at your library. Each community
is unique, and most librarians typically know their own community and what may
or may not work well."<span></span></span></font></p>
