FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 15, 2018

St. Helens, Ore. - Columbia County libraries have selected the books of award-winning Scappoose author Willy Vlautin as the focus of Columbia County Reads 2018.

Columbia County Reads is a yearly collaboration between Columbia County libraries to bring reading to the forefront of public discourse. If everyone reads the same book or author at the same time, it is hoped that it will inspire discussions, connections, and a shared perspective among Columbia County residents.

Wondering where to start on your family history? Overwhelmed by inherited memorabilia? Have you inherited some family tree information but need to know where to find “the harder stuff?” These sessions will cover some of the things you need to know to get your genealogy started or to get it moving again.  Questions welcome!
