Upcoming Events

This book club is for school aged children and teens (6+) and an accompanying adult who will read the same book (together or separately by themselves). The books we read can be enjoyed by all ages!

¡Únete a nosotros todos los miércoles para la Hora del Cuento en Español con Patty Flores! ¡Ven por las historias y quédate para los aperitivos y actividades!

We read books of all genres with queer themes. Join us to discuss books, eat snacks, and be ourselves in a safe and welcoming environment for queer folks and allies alike.

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 for toddlers with hands-on playdough fun!

Library Scouts is an inclusive, hands-on program for children ages 8 to 12.

Join our weekly walk/run from the library every Thursday at 5:30 PM. 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!

We will be watercoloring outside for this program. 

Join us for a Family FUN night with a STEAM learning spin! Each month on the second Thursday, we'll gather in the main library for a family-friendly activity in the genre of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and/or Math.

Sue DeMarinis was born in Brooklyn, New York to first generation Italian-American parents. Her family told stories, louder than necessary, using their words and their hands (not as sign language, mostly for emphasis).

This month’s Storytime is all about Planting a Seed! We’ll share stories about growth, kindness, and caring for our world.

A series of fun activities for elementary school-aged children.

Did you miss Giggles and Wiggles on Wednesday? Well, get ready for the weekend edition! Weekend Wiggles!

Young children will learn important safety skills through fun, hands-on activities. Topics include fire safety, earthquake awareness, and personal safety. Kids will participate in a practice fire drill and learn “stop, drop, and roll.”

This interactive session helps children build confidence and awareness in emergency situations. Topics include fire safety, helping younger siblings, caring for pets, and basic preparedness skills. Activities are hands-on and age-appropriate.

The Library is bringing back our Chess Club!

Participants will take a deeper dive into emergency preparedness through hands-on activities and guided discussion.

Adventure Awaits! (Ages 6–11)

Every Monday morning at 10:30, join a librarian and a special guest buddy for a storytime. The buddy might be a puppet, a community helper, or a visiting critter. It's a mystery, and it's always special!

This storytime is held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM in the Children's Wing. Join us for stories, songs, bonding, playtime, early literacy practice, and lots of fun!
