Library Birthday Party

Join us outdoors on the grassy space between the library and KeyBank to celebrate the library’s 11^th birthday! Play lawn games, enjoy a free slice of delicious cake, and chat with us about all things library, books, and reading.

While we never turn down donations to benefit library operations, there's no need to shop for a gift for us – but, if you find the celebratory mood needs a gift to round things out, we have a couple of suggestions:

• The library is an ongoing collection point for the Aloha Church of God Food Pantry. Consider lending your neighbors a hand by dropping off something from their list of priority items to help fill the food pantry's shelves!

• If you've ever stopped by the restroom while visiting the library, you may have noticed our restrooms are stocked with more than just paper towels and toilet paper. (There's nothing like discovering an unexpected need for a tampon while you're out running errands!) Local organization HomePlate Youth Services has helped to provide us with personal supplies for the past couple of years. They continue to make regular donations, but since recently we've noticed a higher demand for these supplies, we're hoping to expand our offerings. If you are interested in providing supplies, check out our link!

We'll have more information coming soon about our new personal care supply station!

Serving Students

Thank you again from your friends at Aloha Community Library and all of the students who expressed their gratitude over the past few days!

With your help, our free store (pictured here before opening) has provided school supplies to 132 students and counting from across the area. Thank you, thank you for your donations and helping to spread the word!

We still have a few items left over, and those will be available during regular library hours while supplies last. We are targeting those students who are not able to access supplies due to cost. If you know someone who might benefit, please let them know we may have a way to help.

(Looking for supplies that we are out of? See if the new year-round Teacher/Community free store, run at the Elsie Stuhr Center by Wake Up Beaverton!, has what you need.)

Wed 9/20 & 9/27 @ 10:30-11am
