Upcoming Events

Join us in the teen room for VR Gaming! We provide the headsets and you come to have some fun. Limited availability and room, this is a first come first served program. 

Come read to Tumi the labradoodle!

One-on-one reading helps kids gain confidence. This program is open to all kids from beginning readers to those looking to practice with a patient, furry listener.

This storytime is held every Tuesday at  11:15 AM in the Children's Wing. Join us for stories, songs, bonding, playtime, early literacy practice, and lots of fun!

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.

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.

Join us for a quiet, calm evening storytime. We won't have bright lights or loud singing, and we'll have a sensory toy or bin for everyone to play with while we listen to a story. 

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!

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!

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! 

Learn practical strategies with nutritionist Kathleen Boxx to help encourage healthy eating for your children!

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.

Let’s throw the book club rulebook out the window! Instead of sticking to one genre and reading the same book, in Any Book Goes, we’ll pick any book you are currently reading.

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.

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!
