Event List

In this hands-on, play-based program, toddlers and preschoolers are invited to build structures, make discoveries, ask big questions, and embrace the joy of a little mess.

Let's GO!

The board for the Wasco County Library Service District meets at 4:00 on the third Tuesday of most months.  These meetings are usually held in the meeting room at The Dalles Public Library; though at least once a year at Dufur and at Maupin.

Help your young reader grow with confidence! Join our Literacy Launchpad, a fun and supportive literacy program designed for children who need a little extra help.

Fun and games for toddlers and preschool age children! Every Wednesday morning in the library meeting room at 11:00 am until 12:00 pm. Adults must accompany their child and can join in the fun! Games, crafts, music, and Fun!

Come play Minecraft with other teens on the library's iPads and Minecraft server! Together, you'll complete fun challenges and show off your mining AND crafting expertise.

Join us for a welcoming and thoughtful exploration of dreams as metaphorical messages from the subconscious.

Join us for Face Yoga-we'll practice a series of gentle exercises and massage techniques designed to tone facial muscles, reduce tension, boost circulation, and promote a youthful glow.

This playful storytime brings early literacy to life with hands-on playdough fun! We’ll explore all five early literacy practices—read, write, talk, sing, and play—as we squoosh, squish, and squash some playdough! 

Ready to take control of your future? Join us at the library for a fun, hands-on financial literacy class made just for teens! Learn how to budget like a boss, save smart, and spend wisely.

Join us for a creative evening inspired by our Community Read, The Wild Robot! Explore the connection between nature and technology as we create unique collages, blending natural elements with mechanical parts.

Join our weekly walk/run from the library every Friday at 9:30 AM. We take the same lovely route each time, beginning at the Dalles Library parking lot, and ending with some refreshing snacks and drinks at the finish line!

This fun program is intended for kids age 5-10, but everyone is welcome! Each week is something different; it might be art, it might be crafts; could be Code-a-pillars and Beebots; or we might just play games.
