So excited to spend the day with @ozekiland as part of @MultCoLib Everybody Reads program. Thank you @literaryarts and @pdxlibrarylove for making this possible.#EverybodyReads
In our digital world, the necessary skills needed to connect with others, seek out information, and pursue opportunities are constantly changing as technology evolves. Learn about the Digital Skills for Digital Equity project bit.ly/2RYWZQe @netinclusion #DIW2022
The new @MultCoLib mobile library is here! If you see it in your neighborhood, be sure and check it out.
Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.
What would you like to see included in the 95,000 sf East County Library being planned? Let's dream big about the exciting services and community spaces we'd like to see. We need your feedback! Take this survey and share your ideas! surveymonkey.com/r/ecl-en
The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Library just opened in a working class neighborhood in Barcelona. It’s magical. It’s real. And it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why every city doesn’t give its residents palaces for the people. #library
Join @MultCoLib as we kickoff the East County Library community engagement tomorrow. Register at: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Or join one of the community workshops this week
Great to see the inspiring, life-altering Books to Beats program in youth detention get some shine. And thank you Cherie & @EspeSpalding for joining us to share why you know and believe this partnership between @multcolib, DCJ & @MultnomahESD is so vital. kgw.com/video/news/edu…
As temperatures continue to climb today and tomorrow, review these accessible and easy options for keeping yourself cool, as recommended by @TheLancet medical journal. And don't forget to check multco.us/hot frequently for the latest info about cooling resources.
Central Library is open extended hours this week to provide respite from the heat. It's nice and cool inside. Cooling shelters will open tomorrow in several locations - check back for details and updates at multco.us/hot . @trimet free for ppl headed to a cooling place.
As forecasts show temps potentially surging to triple digits tomorrow, 4 overnight cooling shelters & 1 daytime cooling center will open July 26. City & County are monitoring forecasts and will add cooling sites as needed to ensure no one is turned away bit.ly/3JjCYQ9
Our region will likely see a stretch of very hot weather this week. Make a plan to find relief from the heat & please take steps to connect/check in with neighbors, esp. those who are older, live alone or don't have AC. Visit multco.us/hot often for more info/resources.
We had our first Welcome to Computers class in over a year, where we were able to teach participants basic digital skills and provide them with their new device! Thanks @multcolib for partnering with us on this project 😊
This woman was amazing. She understood the impact public libraries could have on people's lives and worked hard to make it happen.
Check out this story about our Library Crisis Team from @KOINNews! The program is part of Project Respond, and it provides outreach, engagement, and crisis response to @MultCoLib patrons experiencing behavioral health challenges, among other services. 💙 koin.com/local/multnoma…
"Public libraries are opening their doors to a new normal, reconnecting and adopting best practices that will help us all navigate forward." #oregonlibraries @MultCoLib @OregonLibraries @ALA_PLA publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in…
Starting off #PLA2022 the right way. Breaking bread with @MultCoLib_Dir of @MultCoLib ...
So proud of our team....
