Plastic Nursery Pot Recycling

Starting on Sunday, September 7 the Plant Sale Committee of the Cedar Mill Community Library will offer free plastic nursery pot recycling from 2-4 pm. This service will be available the first Sunday of every month, except during inclement weather. Cori Bacher will bring her big Ford truck to the upper parking lot. Just throw your (reasonably clean, and, please, no chemicals) plastic nursery pots, trays, flats, and six-packs into the back. We will use some to pot up plants for the 2009 plant sale. What we cannot use will go to Far West Fibers to be recycled. There is no size limit.

Book Club Kits

Librarians Laura Baca (pictured) and Mark Richardson have developed a collection of Book Club Kits for loan throughout the county. Each box has 8-10 copies of a book suitable for discussion and a leader’s guide with background about the book and author.? This new service makes it easy for all members of a group to borrow a book at the same time. The kits are loaned for 30 days. Call Mark or Laura at the Cedar Mill Community Library 503 644-0043 for more information. Funding for this project comes from the Washington County Arts, Heritage and Humanities Coalition and the Oregon Cultural Trust.

Bethany Branch extends hours

Beginning on September 2, Bethany will match Cedar Mill’s schedule by opening up 3 additional evenings until 8 PM.  Hours are Monday-Friday 10-8, Sat. 10-5, Sun. 12-5.
