The Library is Your Holiday Resource

We have materials galore to help you celebrate your holidays!  Check out a beautiful Christmas picture book to read to your grandchildren, a holiday recipe book to help you wow your guests, music to relax by as you drive in traffic, an audiobook to listen to on family trips, or some great movies to watch during precious “down time.”  Why not pick up a Library bookbag or two, they make great gifts.  Ask at the check-out desk.

Fascinating Book about Lake Oswego

Copies may be purchased for $35 at the Library’s check-out desk.  They would make great holiday gifts!
