Children and adult books will be placed in the box in separate locations. Please use the lower shelf for Children’s books to make them more accessible.

This event will include refreshments, chair massages, music, a boxing demonstration, and resources on teen health, including reproductive health. There will be Spanish-speaking hosts on hand for Spanish-speaking participants. “Taking time to focus on youth is important because there are often barriers that prevent them from being able to access reproductive health services,” says Jessica Nye, program supervisor for Maternal Child and Reproductive Health with Washington County. “This is a great opportunity for youth up to age 24 in our community to learn about the services and resources available and how to access them.” Participating organizations include Domestic Violence Resource Center, Sexual Assault Resource Center, HomePlate, Hawthorn Walk-in Center, Safe Place for Youth, NHC Dental and several others. NHC operates “The Clinic” every Tuesday from 3–7 p.m. at the Hillsboro location. The walk-in clinic provides confidential reproductive health care services such as sexual health information, birth control, pregnancy tests, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections at low or no cost for those 24 and under. For more information, call Washington County Reproductive Health Educator Vikki Villarreal at 503-846-2815.
