[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello folks,

I hope you are enjoying sunshine today as much as I am! It's one of those late winter afternoons that make you feel living in the Pacific Northwest is the only place to be and spring is just around the corner.

You all are great hosts this week:

  *   Woodburn's hosting a social media safety event<https://www.woodburnindependent.com/lifestyle/woodburns-liberty-house-hosts-free-youth-social-media-safety-training/article_9a3ce5a0-ee4f-11ef-9772-5ba527098bc5.html> for families to talk about online kid safety

You're also helping kids with STEM learning:

And you're celebrating Oregon authors and Oregon's literary landscape:

  *   Willamette Writers is doing workshops<https://www.beavertonvalleytimes.com/news/young-writers-get-plenty-of-inspiration-from-mentors-at-workshops-hosted-by-willamette-writers-and/article_e221017e-f3d8-11ef-8835-3b242e4b4ea4.html> in Beaverton

Thanks so much for all you do in your communities to support the health, safety, and well-being of all our community members. There is truly no other place like a library, and it is a gift to learn about all the work you're doing every week!

Have a great weekend,

Greta
