FVRL is celebrating 75 years this year with a number of programs across the district. This summer, join the Passport Program and take the opportunity to visit other libraries, and a Bookmobile, in our library district and use an Experience Pass while you’re in the area.
If you can’t get away, our bi-monthly booklet will offer hints for the trivia questions in the Passport. Log your travel progress online, or ask staff to help you. If you complete the Passport by December 1, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a grand prize!
Summer Reading is also upon us, bringing a number of presenters and programs to the Goldendale Library. Highlights include:
• Origami Toys, July 11, 11:00am

The library district is in the process of creating a new Strategic Plan and would like to hear from you. Please take a few moments to complete the community survey, found here: https://www.fvrl.org/strategic-priorities.
There will be a listening session open to the public on July 10, 4:00-6:00pm at the Goldendale Library.
Lastly, FVRL will be on the August 5 ballot for a Levy Lid Lift, a funding measure that shapes what open hours and services are delivered in the years to come. Information can be found here: https://www.fvrl.org/levy
