It’s time for our fourth annual Adult Winter Reading program! The conversation and books you find here at the library are the perfect antidote to cabin fever.
Running December 10, 2012 to February 16, 2013, Adult Winter Reading is a great way to catch up on some reading and maybe win a prize or two. Here’s how to particpate:
READ
Check out and read at least five books. Need suggestions? Browse our list of online reading resources, or ask us.
WRITE
Pick up a reading log at the library and write down your five books. Then drop off your reading log at the library. You can keep filling in and submitting reading logs for every five books you read. (For your convenience, you can download a PDF of the reading log to print off at home.)
WIN
Submitted reading logs will be drawn in a weekly raffle for prizes, including treats and gift certificates to The Human Bean. The more you read, the better your chances!
HAVE FUN
Join us in January and February for our adult programs, including a tea tasting, craft classes, book groups, an ebook class, and a digital camera class. Check our online calendar for a complete schedule of library programs.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
We look forward to see you at the library!

West Slope Community Library is teaming up with Energy Trust of Oregon to offer information and tools that can increase energy awareness and drive energy savings. Check out a Kill A Watt™ monitor on your next visit to the library. These monitors measure how much electricity your electric appliances and devices are consuming when plugged in, such as refrigerators, microwaves, computers, TVs, phone chargers, game consoles, and cable set-top boxes. Kill A Watt monitors can also be used to measure “phantom” energy loads: the amount of energy an electronic device will draw, even when in standby mode. In the average home, 75 percent of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off (source: U.S. Department of Energy).
Included with the Kill A Watt monitors are helpful tips and information on next steps you can take to save energy at home based on what you learn by using the monitor. Let us help you save energy and money by checking out a Kill A Watt monitor at the library today.
