Welcome!
Woodland Library Events
This September, Woodland library is the perfect place to find a book to curl up with, or to spend a few hours making new friends while appreciating the foliage and watching the rain through those beautiful glass walls.
One important event this month arrives on the 11th and 12th with the Friends’ Book Sale! Our littlest Friends will be excited to hear that the storytime break is over as of Tuesday the 15th! I know the staff are excited to see their little patrons again, especially for evening “pajama storytimes” on Wednesdays at 6. And Bossa PDX brings the party with live music on the 24th!
Crafters and artists have plenty of great choices this month, with Teen Bad Art on 9/14 (always hilarious!), adventures in art on 9/8 and 9/22, fiber arts circle on 9/18, AND MORE! I mentioned this last month, but the Woodland High School artists’ show is still up in the gallery, and it’s incredible. Those kids have some serious talent. I encourage everyone to go see it.
As always, I don’t have room to talk about all the cool stuff the Woodland staff does every month (Spanish language circles, writers’ groups, chess club!). Click here for more information on the events this month at Woodland. You can use the filters and links on that page to find events all over the district and online.
Upcoming Booksales!
Woodland Friends will hold booksales this year on the following dates:
September 11 (10-6) and 12 (10-2) — we have lots of books to peruse this time as well as DVDs. This will be a bag sale, with small bags at $5 and large for $10. Bring your own or take one of ours.
November 13 (10-6) and 14 (10-2)
December 11 (10-6) and 12 (10-2)
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Get Involved at the Library!
We very much appreciate all our volunteers, and we always like to see new people getting involved! You can always contact the Friends at friendsofwoodlandlibrary@gmail.com for information on our events and volunteer opportunities, or stop by our meeting on the second Thursday of the month at noon at the library. (For September, that will be the 10th; for October, the 8th.)
Right now we are looking for more people to help transport books for the book sale and to help with setup on Thursday and clean up on Saturday the 12th. Let us know if you want to help! We would also appreciate social media help and help publicizing book sales/events if that’s your passion.
Washington Library Association Honors Woodland Library Friends
We are so very thrilled to announce that the Friends of the Woodland Library have received the Volunteer Leadership Award from the Washington Library Association. This award recognizes the commitment our Friends have made and the time and energy they expended towards opening the new library in Woodland in October 2024. Some of the ladies in the photo above have been working towards this goal for over a decade! As “library people,” we’re not always used to accolades, and we continue to be motivated by our shared love of books and this community. We are grateful to all of our volunteers and community partners over the years, to the WLA, and to the FVRL staff who nominated the Friends. What do you think we can accomplish in the next ten years?
Our new library is OPEN!
The long-awaited grand opening of the new Woodland Community Library took place October 12! We were thrilled to welcome over 500 of you to have snacks provided by Friends and the VFW, hear performances by the Minidoka Swing Band and Woodland High School Jazz Choir, and cheer on Branch Manager Jennifer Hauan while she cut the ribbon to welcome the community to your NEW library. We are all very excited to finally unveil the space! Our new address is 411 Lakeshore Drive and we can’t wait to show it off! An immense thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who volunteered and donated to make this happen.
