Message from Halsted Bernard, Director of
Library Services
The pandemic has given us a unique opportunity to evaluate
�vn,SKlin and innovate our services. In June, we created Library Takeout to
a� offer you contactless outdoor pickup of your holds and returns of
y53 your materials. And just last week we added an outdoor walk-up
service desk to give you library help with no appointment needed.
We now offer a range of online events that include early literacy fun
for families, playful and educational programs for tweens and
teens, and interactive discussions about racial justice.
I'm constantly in awe of how our Tigard Public Library staff has
translated their creativity, expertise, and dedication into developing
these new methods to serve you. And all this while adhering to
brand-new health and safety guidelines! I hope that these
reinvented library services are meeting your library needs. Your
response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are grateful
once more for the support of our Tigard community.
Be well, stay safe, and thank you.
