February Seed Library News

Happy February, Gardeners!

I want to thank everyone who made it to our 6th-annual seed swap! It truly was a wonderful event. The smiles and laughter were contagious, and it was a joy to see everyone who left with their arms full of the bounty that was offered.

Stay tuned for the exciting, new collaborations sprouting up in our community and some new seeds being added to the library! Not only do we have donations from the seed swap, but I have received donations from the following nurseries: Baker Creek, Peaceful Valley, Portland Nursery, and Territorial Seeds. With some help from my volunteers, we will get these processed and into the cabinet as soon as possible.

National Library Lover's Month Challenge

 

February is National Library Lovers month and the Sandy and Hoodland libraries want to you Explore Your Library. 

For the month of February, we are hosting a challenge designed to get you, as a patron, out of your comfort zone and to help you explore other areas of the library. 

The first step is to pick up a loyalty card at the Sandy Library Info desk or the Hoodland Main desk (or if you're more technologically savvy, you can sign up on sandy.beanstack.com). 

On the cards (or online), you'll see various challenges for you to try out. 

The challenges include:

• Check out a display item
• Check out an item from the Library of Things
• Check out a "NEW" item
• Attend a library program
• Post to your social media using the hashtag #iloveSAPL or #iloveHOPL
• Learn a new library skill (holds, enable your checkout history, etc.)
• Write a short "Community Picks" review

Each time you complete a challenge, head to the Info or Out desk at Sandy (Main desk at Hoodland) to get your stamp. Once you've collected 5 stamps, head to the Info desk to get your pick of our brand-new LINCC-branded swag. 

Thanks for being a part of the Sandy and Hoodland libraries, and happy exploring!
