Library

Higher education is considered essential for individuals seeking employment opportunities, social and cultural advancement, and a more secure financial future. No matter your background or privilege, a college degree is automatically assumed to multiply your opportunities. But in the current cycles of escalating tuition costs, ballooning student loan debt, and a crumbling secondary education infrastructure in Oregon, we have an increasing need to examine the purposefulness and meaningfulness of higher education in our day-to-day lives.

On Saturday, October 13th from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., the St. Helens Public Library will join communities across the nation in celebrating Indie Author Day! Join us for presentations and discussions by local authors Sharon L. Hughson and Becky Bean. We will explore the hands-on details of indie, hybrid, and self-publishing, as well as what resources the Library can offer our local writing community.

Step back in time where each participant gets to decide what they read. Unlike traditional book clubs, everyone reads a book of their own choosing that follows a theme. The next theme will be HISTORY. Fiction or nonfiction; consider anything from recent to ancient. Share your thoughts and recommendations when you come to the meeting. If you need help with selecting, the St. Helens Public Library will have suggested titles on display. Light snacks and beverages will be served. Everyone is welcome to attend. 

Since reading about the Himalayas in National Geographic magazines as a
young person, Jeffrey always dreamed of summiting Mount Everest. However,
she never found the right timing to fulfill her dream.
