The Lake Oswego Library has some really fun activities planned for the summer season.
Let’s start with The Seed Library. That’s right, a seed library. Housed is a repurposed card catalogue at the Fiction desk, there is literally a huge selection of seeds for you to take home and grown in your garden. The seeds are for plants that do well in our area. The seeds do not have to be returned, but your are encouraged to harvest seeds from what you grow and donate them back to the library for someone else’s enjoyment.
The Summer Library Challenge is for children, teens and adults. Kids will receive a free book just for signing up. Then, all summer long, they will have chances to win prizes as they read books. Adults can set their own challenge, share their progress through the summer, and get chance to win a Powell’s gift card and a two-night stay at the Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport, Oregon.
The Children’s Library is offering Take-Away Crafts each week from June 19th to August 11th. Simply drop by the library, pick up your craft, and take it home with you for a fun summer diversion.
Then there is Programs in the Park. Every Wednesday, June 21st to August 9th, from 2-3pm, at Rossman Park (555 4th St) drop in for crafts, nature workshops, art activities, special guests, and more. Then, enjoy the end of summer party on August 16th.

The Lake Oswego Library is about so much more than books! It’s truly a treasure in our community.
