Join us for Junior Jams and explore different musical genres, from Rock to Jazz to TV Themes! Music appreciation starts early, and exposure to variety will support little learners aged 2-5 in understanding and enjoying different styles, all while planting a lifelong connection to music. Come sing, dance, and play with an engaging and friendly teacher from our friends at Youth Music Project.

About the instructor:

David brings 20 years of experience to Youth Music Project as a musician and singer/songwriter, and he has spent 10 years working with kids of all ages! He's created an early childhood curriculum called "Music Exploration," where he explores different types of music genres. He teaches this class all over the Portland area. Originally from New York City, he moved to Portland, OR, in 2017 and now calls it home. Since the Pandemic, Pollack co-founded the nonprofit Curbside Serenade that curates public performances in non-traditional spaces such as parks, pedestrian plazas, and Curbsides. Most well-known for the weekly shows in Laurelhurst Park hosted by Johnny Franco. His Power Pop-inspired band DoublePlay and his solo project perform regularly in the Portland Area.

A healthy gut plays a powerful role in reducing the risk of chronic conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. This program provides an overview of the gut microbiome, what it is, and why it matters. Participants will learn how the gut microbiome supports digestion, immunity, inflammation control, and overall health, as well as explore foods that promote a healthy gut, including fiber-rich foods, fermented foods, and resistant starches.

Mike and Denise Jones established this scholarship in honor of their daughter, Holly Grace. Holly loved the library and reading, and she served as a dedicated member of the Teen Library Advisory Board. This scholarship was created to honor up to two graduating seniors within the West Linn–Wilsonville School District who have demonstrated a commitment to the West Linn Library and community through their service on the Teen Library Advisory Board.
