Join us at the Community & Senior Center for a special afternoon honoring the brave men and women who have served our country!

Monday November 16th: 2:00 PM

We’ll celebrate our local veterans with a special Veteran Pinning Ceremony, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to come together as a community to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice.

This event is open to the public! Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, a friend, or a community member who wants to show your support, we welcome you to join us for this meaningful occasion.

Please RSVP by calling (503) 668-5569. Veterans and guests are encouraged to RSVP so we can ensure our veterans are properly recognized during the ceremony.

Let’s come together to honor those who have served and show our veterans how much they mean to our community. We hope to see you there!

Senior Lunch is Back!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal, catch up with friends, and be part of our vibrant community.

Call (503) 668-5569 to RSVP; there is a $5 suggested donation.

See you Tuesday!

Ask yourselves, "What does winter look like, to me? What colors do I see? What do I do in winter and how does winter make me feel?" Your answers create pictures in your mind, now put the pictures on paper and share your art with us!

The Library is hosting All About Winter, an art show just for kids in grades K–5, and we’re inviting YOU to take part! This call is open to kid artists of all backgrounds and levels, from emerging talents to established young artists.

All kinds of artwork are welcome: drawings, paintings, collages, or anything you can make with your hands and creativity. Artists should be within the service area of the Sandy Public Library, and be a Clackamas County Resident.

Submissions are due by January 10th.
