Coming Soon to North Plains Library...One Book, One Community

Beginning in January 2008 the residents of North Plains will come together for a "One Book, One Community" reading program, and all WCCLS card holders are welcome to join the program. The two month event will be filled with cultural and fun activities, tango dancing, book discussions, parties, cooking classes, movies, and more.

The entire event will be based on the book, The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Plans with this theme are in progress. A kick-off party is planned for January 12 at the North Plains Public Library (31334 NW Commercial Street, North Plains) with Spanish tapas and music. The month of February will follow with rich cultural and fun activities.

If you would like to help with any of this or share your ideas, please call or email Diane VanGrunsven at (503) 647-5127 or dvannew@comcast.net.
