Rainy Day Reading Reviews @ Aberdeen Timberland Library
Feb 17 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Rainy Day Reading Reviews is a program developed by the Aberdeen Timberland Library to engage local booklovers. Here’s how it works: a library patron or friend is asked to read a book of her or his choosing, prepare a review of the book, then offer the review – in person and out-loud – at a public gathering. It’s all about reading, reflecting and sharing.

January 6 – Robin Moore reviews “The Last Hurrah” by Edwin O’Connor 
January 13 – Martha Hill reviews “Midnight in Broad Daylight: A Japanese American Family Caught Between Two Worlds” by Pamela Rotner Sakamoto 
January 20 – Patricia Warren reviews “Used and Rare: Travels in the Book World” by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone
January 27 – Nancy Neisinger reviews “The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey” by Candice Millard

Lose Weight with Justin James at the February Hypnotic House Party @ Hoquiam Castle
Feb 19 @ 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Lose Weight with Justin James at the February Hypnotic House Party @ Hoquiam Castle | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and create the perfect you.

So whats going to happen at a Hypnotic House Party for Weight Loss? Essentially we are going to get together and hang out. You will bring a blanket and a pillow or even a Yoga mat if you would like to stretch out. Justin James will hypnotize everyone in the group and give you powerful hypnotic suggestions while some music plays in the background. It will be like daydreaming or taking a nice nap.

So you come hang out and take a nap, what happens next? For some the changes are subtle for others, it can be pretty dramatic. Lifestyle changes that were very difficult to make are suddenly within reach and your habits and choices begin to change overnight.

Author Talk about Sasquatch with Author David George Gordon @ Amanda Park Timberland Library
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

People in the Northwest have reported encounters with Sasquatch for hundreds of years. There are footprint casts and eyewitness accounts, some from the earliest Northwestern inhabitants. With all this “evidence,” however, researchers have failed to scientifically prove the creature’s existence.

Author David George Gordon will discuss the data, the scientific method, and the possibilities that Sasquatch exists at the Amanda Park Timberland Library, Saturday, March 18 from 2-3 p.m.

Voices from the Harbor – Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm
Voices from the Harbor - Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater  | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.”

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. This is the first in a series of three events.
