Find Your Match @ Sherwood Public Library
|
|
This February, find a renewed love of reading with our new concierge service, Book Match @ Sherwood Public Library. Tell us about what you enjoy reading and our librarians will send you a selection of reading recommendations. Get started at sherwoodoregon.gov/library or in the Library. Let us set you up with a Blind Date with a Book, February 1-14. Check out a wrapped book with a few clues, take it home and unwrap it. There won't be any awkward feelings if you don't like your date, but it might be the match of your literary dreams. Learn to your heart's content with our premier online resources available for free with a library card. From National Geographic to Chilton, Lynda.com to Mango Languages, and more. Get started at wccls.org/research. Expand your perspectives on diversity during Black History Month with two Oregon Humanities Conversation projects addressing race in a post-Obama era and creating inclusive communities. See you at the library!
