LIBRARY AWARDED GRANT FROM CULTURAL COALITION OF WASHINGTON COUNTY

The Sherwood Library has been announced as a recipient of a grant from the Cultural Coalition of Washington County.  The grant will provide funding for the Library to offer Oregon Symphony Storytimes in January 2011.  An innovative partnership between the Oregon Symphony and the local public libraries, Oregon Symphony Storytimes brings music and literature together for pre-schoolers and their parents. Storytimes feature musicians from the Oregon Symphony performing music that enhances and deepens the storytelling experience.
