Library

Nature Buddies

McCormick Park Veterans Plaza

Thursdays, 11AM to 12PM

Tuesdays at 10AM on the Library porch
Each week, we'll have a limited supply of kits available that will contain all the materials you need for a fun art or science activity for kids and families. Follow us on Facebook for details or stop by on Tuesday mornings to pick one up!

This week is National Library Week. Did you know that the St. Helens Public Library recently opened its doors for browsing limited hours?

During curbside pickup hours, patrons can now come in to browse or use the computers. See curated displays featuring both new items from the past three months and items that you may have missed during the past year. Try out items from the Library of Things' rapidly expanding collection of of gizmos, gadgets, and games. Explore the magic contained between the covers of the many books housed in the children's room.

We all know more than we realize not only about our relatives but also cracking those toughies that drive us nuts and searching for information than we realized.  This month as we slide into summer, we will focus on helping each other.  What types of information are you seeking?  Someone else may know how or where to access it.  You never know who you will be helping.

To keep you going through the summer, there will be a sneak peak at the program for our 2-day Genealogy conference; September 17 and 18, 2021!

May Genial Genealogy online meeting: The War of 1812 and its impacts on genealogy

The War of 1812 is considered the forgotten war, which may be because there was no clear victor. What had begun as a Gentleman’s War, soon became a brutal contest of wills between the United States, Great Britain, and American Indian tribes which in turn had a profound impact on our ancestors.
