  • Agenda Item No. 2 April 12, 2016 Library Director's Report To
    Agenda Item No. 2 April 12, 2016 Library Director’s Report to Multnomah County Library Advisory Board New play equipment brings interactive learning to Holgate Library With support from The Library Foundation and former Youth Services Director Ellen Fader, the library has been installing equipment designed to engage young children in learning and play. Our newest installation was recently completed at Holgate Library. The engagement was immediate, with the kids touching, playing and learning all at once. “Just minutes after the installation was completed,” said Katie O’Dell, Youth Services director, “storytime let out and the area was filled with children who couldn't keep their hands off.” You can also find these interactive learning stations at Albina, Gregory Heights, Gresham, Rockwood and St. Johns libraries. Many thanks to The Library Foundation and to Ellen Fader who, after nearly 20 years of employment with the library, personally helps fund these projects in her retirement. Page 1 of 5 Agenda Item No. 2 April 12, 2016 Traveling exhibition showcases the power of creativity and hope during wartime The opening reception of Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here! was held March 5 in the Collins Gallery. This powerful exhibition is part of a citywide project in response to the car bombing of Baghdad’s ancient booksellers’ street on March 5, 2007. These international traveling exhibitions feature more than 200 artistic artifacts. Nearly 650 individuals have responded creatively to this iconic attack on life and on freedom of expression. The event coincided with the ninth anniversary of the bombing and was attended by more than 100 people and many guests from the Iraqi community.
