Read Local Author Fair Application

The West Linn Public Library will host a Read Local Author Fair in early 2025. This free event serves to provide a platform for local writers to showcase their work, connect with interested readers, and network with other area authors. It is also an exciting event for readers to explore new authors, talk with them, learn about the writing process, and peruse their books ‐ and have books signed, as well!

Ni hao Chinese books! 中文书上线啦!

Our World Language collection has grown to include books in Chinese for youth! This collection includes both simplified and traditional titles. We are excited to share this new collection with our community along with supporting the Chinese Dual Language Program at Bolton Primary School.

奔走相告!为了配合Bolton小学新开设的中文班,以及扩展图书馆的外文书收藏,儿童书区新添加了中文书。简体和繁体的中文书都有收录,欢迎借阅!

Many thanks to Xiaojie Abby Dong who graciously donated her time in providing feedback on material selection as well as translation assistance.

特别感谢社区成员董校捷的支持与协助。
