Celebrate the 1930s with Us in February
Our centennial birthday celebration continues as we delve into a different decade of our history for the first 10 months of 2020. In February we'll look back on the 1930s, which was a pivotal decade for the library. We finally had a permanent home in the spring of 1939 with the completion of the building at 507 NW Wall Street in Bend (pictured here). The original library building now serves as the administration building for the library district and is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. Join us throughout 2020 as we look back on a century of community.

, and look for special displays in your libraries.

Writing a book, just like building a library, is an act of sheer defiance. It is a declaration that you believe in the persistence of memory.

Where Will Your Library Take You Next? Japan!
Join us in February as we get to Know Japan. We’ll hear from experts on everything from ikebana to manga, learn about the influence of Japanese art on European culture, and explore the difference between haibun and haiku. We will also commemorate the Day of Remembrance that marks the signing of Executive Order 9066, which led to the removal and incarceration of Americans of Japanese ancestry during WWII.

Hands-on Fun for Teens All February
When schoolwork ramps up for teens, the library can be more than a valuable homework resource--it's also a place for teens to connect and try new hands-on projects. Be sure to check out all of the fun programs happening for teens in February. From making a motor to crafting a cute taco-inspired earbud holder, these sessions are a great way for teens and pre-teens to take a break from homework and blow off some steam. See the program listings below or
