Lace up your sneakers, grab your cozy holiday gear, and join us for the first-ever Winterfest Jolly Jog & Walk! This cheerful 5K fun run and walk is the perfect way to kick off the New Year with family, friends, and festive spirit.

Beauty isn’t always found in the new—it’s often hidden in what we’ve discarded. Reclaimed Beauty celebrates the art of transformation, where forgotten materials are reborn into works of profound elegance and intrigue. This exhibit invites artists to take what was once cast aside and craft it into something that speaks to both the soul and the environment. .  

The Sandy and Hoodland Libraries close at 2pm on Thursday, October 2nd for a volunteer appreciation event.

We are so excited to bring a Mobile Library to the Sandy and Hoodland communities!

We are already planning to go to schools in the Oregon Trail School District, the Senior/Community Centers, and retirement/care facilities. We will offer STEM programs at the schools and computer classes at retirement facilities and Senior Centers. We will also take the vehicle to daycares and preschools to offer Storytime and our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program.
