What We've Been Up To
In August, Racheal Parker, our NW Parenting Program Specialist, had the joy of welcoming Oregon’s First Lady, representing Governor Tina Kotek’s Office, to the Warrenton Community Library. Together, they hosted a special Storytime celebrating Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
Through this wonderful program, families receive free books each month, helping children build a love of reading from an early age. Locally, our Early Learning Hub proudly supports the Imagination Library in Clatsop and Tillamook counties, making it easier for families to grow strong home libraries.
