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’s main parking lot now includes EV charging! Two spaces near the book drop are designated for EV charging use. These stations are Level 2 chargers.
Join Tiny Talkers for a playful and engaging class designed especially for babies and toddlers! Through songs, movement, and interactive signing activities, you’ll learn everyday signs to use at home and throughout your day. Signing helps little ones build early language and communication skills, while music and play make learning fun for everyone. Come connect, learn, and share joyful moments together!
Something is hatching at the library! Our Youth Services staff is going to be incubating and hatching chicks, with an expected hatch date in May. Join us on this journey, help us name a chick, and when the time comes enjoy sitting back and holding a chick.
We will start incubating the eggs on April 29th with an expected hatch date of May 19th.
Once things actually start hatching, you can watch all of the action on our YouTube channel: @WestLinnPublicLibrary
