The Mazamas: For the Love of Mountains

November 8, 2023 – March 24, 2024

Embark on a captivating journey through 129 years of history to discover how the Mazamas emerged as one of the preeminent mountaineering and conservation organizations in the United States. Formed at the summit of Mount Hood in 1894, the ties of the Mazamas run deep throughout the Pacific Northwest — from founding president William Gladstone Steel’s pioneering work to establish Crater Lake National Park to its early role in building the iconic Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia River Gorge.

Indoor Plant Swap

When: Saturday, February 25, 12:00 - 1:30 pm

Location: Sandy Library Community Room

More Info: Maureen Houck

Is your house starting to look like a jungle with too many plants? Or too bare with not enough? Do you have cuttings to give away? Please bring a healthy, pest-free houseplant or cutting to swap. If you don't have one to bring, that is ok too. Please bring your own containers to take any new plant friends home. Can’t make it to the event but have some houseplants you don’t want anymore, bring them to the library on Saturday, February 24th between 3 and 5 pm and we will add them to the plant swap the next day.

Due to the invasive jumping worm, only indoor houseplants will be able to be swapped.

Staff Pick

I really enjoyed reading this book since it opened up my eyes to the history of the town of Sandy, Oregon. It was fun to read about the people that our streets are named after and the history of their lives and what brought them to start homesteading in Sandy. They faced many hardships and triumphs in their day. I recommend this read for any Sandy-ite and for those that love learning about the history of our quaint little town.
