Celebrating Freedom, Resilience, and Unity
Evening Programs | June 15-22, 2025 | 6:00-8:00 PM (No Program June 17) | West Linn Public Library Community Room
The City of West Linn invites our community to come together in recognition of Juneteenth—one of the oldest nationally celebrated commemorations of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and shared the news that all enslaved people were free. This moment marked a powerful turning point, symbolizing resilience, hope, and the enduring struggle for equality.

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 May 1st with an expected hatch date of May 21st.
Once things actually start hatching, you can watch all of the action on our YouTube channel: @WestLinnPublicLibrary
We’re excited to invite community members to showcase your unique collections in the library’s three display cases. Whether you collect agates, vintage bottles, rubber duckies, or Pez dispensers, this is a great opportunity to share your passion with the community. Open to all ages.
The library has three display cases. You may use one, two, or all three cases. You do not have to pack each case, but how much of your collection you put in each one is entirely up to you.
