From Halsted Bernard
Director of Library Services
r
As Washington County enters Phase 1 of Governor Brown's
reopening plan, the Tigard Public Library is preparing to resume
+� some in-person services. After we make health and safety
adjustments to staff work areas and schedules, we will focus on
er delivering a few high-priority services like curbside holds pickup
and gradual returns of checked-out materials.
Countywide library services will gradually resume in a coordinated
effort between all Washington County libraries. All libraries may not
offer the same services at the same moment, but we are all
working together.
Our services will look different than they did before, but what
hasn't changed is our gratitude for your continued support. Please
reach out to us if you have any questions, and we will keep you
updated on our website.

Read for fun this summer!
For many, summer+ the library= summer reading. This year,
UMMFR KADM summer will look a little different in Tigard, and so will the summer
r FOR ALL AGES reading program. We've designed a simple, all ages program so
everyone can read for fun this summer. An activity flyer will be
arriving as a full page spread in the Tigard Times, which will share
ideas for reading-related projects and challenges. No registration is
needed this year. Our Friends of the Library will celebrate
everyone's reading with donations to three local organizations who
are supporting the community; Just Compassion, Supafresh Youth
Farm, and Packed with Pride. Also, anyone who participates can
come get a free book once the building is open again and we can
safely provide services. Check out our website for more
information, a pdf of the activity flyer, and additional weekly activity
suggestions!
