The Sandy Library will host author and historian Jerry Sutherland where he will discuss his latest book, Bayocean: Atlantis of Oregon. The 1906 vision of T. B. Potter and his partner, Harkness Chapin, Bayocean was to be a grand resort town located along the Tillamook Spit that protects Tillamook Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

A luxury hotel, rental cabins, and an indoor saltwater swimming pool complete with a wave machine were just a few of the amenities offered.

Lots with a view of the ocean and bay sold quickly. However, the remote location and economic downturn slowed growth. Then, in the late 1920s, after the construction of a jetty, erosion began eating away at the spit. Over the next several decades, dreams and homes were lost.

In 1971, the last structure, a garage, was claimed by the Pacific Ocean. Come hear the dramatic story of the town that was lost to the sea and see a slideshow presentation. Books will be available for purchase.

We periodically host the American Red Cross in the Sandy Library Community Room, two blood drives are coming up in March. If you are interested in signing up to donate, go to www.redcrossblood.org and type in our zip code 97055.

Games, music instruments, community journals. We recently added a Pickle Ball set in Sandy and at Hoodland I frequently borrow the umbrella swift to unload my drop spindle.

These are items you may want to interact with but don't necessarily need to own.
