[kids-lib] Friday 1/31 Shoutout

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

There's a lot happening around the state and per usual you all are doing lots of good things!

Several libraries are doing good work with spaces: from renovating teen spaces with teen input<https://www.facebook.com/multcolib/posts/pfbid02TmAAfL4vzHjXh9pS3wthtevGCcpFBG9YLWaugsPMuRvHTwx34qM8dyZ7j1tCDj46l> at Multnomah, to a new kids' space<https://www.facebook.com/NorthBendPublicLibraryOregon/posts/pfbid02CjzQu7pw4aarKChHYwGLkNjNXApnnJoxP44qU3buMPLWY8H2Adn16Y6MYK7BDbEHl> coming along down the Coast, to honoring public service in Hillsboro<https://www.forestgrovenewstimes.com/lifestyle/hillsboros-brookwood-library-renames-childrens-area-after-former-mayor-steve-callaway/article_c4c1d40f-9622-5602-8a72-27eba6382bda.html> - spaces for families to play and learn in is critical to the health of our communities. Your hospitality is important and appreciated.

You're also connecting kids to good opportunities to practice reading with friendly support from furry friends: both Tigard<https://www.facebook.com/TigardPublicLibrary/posts/pfbid0CDdbPEYrFHf1m2zQXpNVrGxiUcEuVMnoKUGuNmNBCN8ATsmXQbx2AAwq81xLzudQl> and Jefferson<https://www.facebook.com/JeffersonOregonPublicLibrary/posts/pfbid02U5BMhEswrC1mJDhkExwEhWtGGZ41aw9ow5MnYjWQBmNYAMqMeSXBWDgGKzbPgmMpl> shared about that this week.

And lastly, this week had a shoutout for Lindsey Quigley-Johnson, who some of you may know from her work with OYAN. What you may not know is how much her city appreciates her work<https://www.facebook.com/Creswell.Library/posts/pfbid02VCvSQJfsNNfwdKJiTGUBu297jriZacJJsgquxJq5KugkJJufHUfJLCG688bkZ3XQl> with Creswell kids!

We know that many more of you deserve a city/county shoutout and want to say thanks so much for all the work you've been doing this week. If it snows where you are this weekend, stay cozy!

Best,
Greta
