Let Your Voice Be Heard at Your Library
|
Deschutes Public Library is a forum for information and ideas and serves as a gathering space for people of all origin, age, background and views. We encourage you to discover your voice and to listen to the voices of others within your community, and beyond, as they share ideas, concerns and aspirations. Visit our new Voices page, which is dedicated to helping you discover materials and information presenting varied points of view on current and historical issues. Find a video introducing the new Voices page, featuring the words of MOsely WOtta, here.

Effective Selling Techniques workshop (3/9, Redmond; 3/15, D. Bend). Check the Event Spotlight column to the right for a list of upcoming small business counseling sessions with SCORE.

- Cell phones and their cords, attachments, etc.
- Covered electronic devices, such as: computer monitors, CPUs (towers and desktops), laptops, printers, mice, keyboards

| Story Time is Fun Time; Join Us! |
Our libraries offer dozens of early literacy story times every month. Why is this important? Children who enter kindergarten with a strong vocabulary, a love of books and a familiarity with playing words have an advantage. Join us for Baby Steps, Animal Adventures, Toddlin' Tales, Pajama Party, Science Story Time and so much more! Find the full schedule of story times and children's programs here. And while you're at the library, be sure to pick up a big stack of books to take home so you can continue to read, play and grow with your child.
