Pokémon GO! Club | All Ages
Did you know the West Linn Public Library is a Pokémon Gym and has 3 Pokéstops located around the outside of the building? Every Wednesday during the summer, we will have a table outside where you can meet other Pokémon Go! enthusiasts, team up to battle raid bosses, and complete a route created by the librarians. We will have a lure or two set at the Pokéstops, so there will be plenty of Pokémon to catch and prizes to be had!

The Library has teamed up with our Parks & Recreation Department to combine two of our favorite things: reading books and exploring the great outdoors! Together we invite you to the StoryWalk® at Fields Bridge Park.

Join us for some hands-on STEAM fun! Registration is required.
Wednesdays and Thursdays during the school year from 3:00-4:20. Registration required.
Come practice reading to one of our registered therapy dogs. Kids sign up for 20-minute sessions to read to a dog downstairs at the library. Each child chooses a book and how much reading and petting to do. Reading to the dogs increases enthusiasm for reading, develops reading skills, teaches children how to interact with pets and promotes confidence. Our dog handlers encourage interaction with their dogs and will offer help if needed. All dogs and handlers are registered therapy teams.
