And a very cool arial view of the rebuild of the @MultCoLib Holgate Library

[Vailey Oehlke @MultCoLib_Dir]

So excited to spend the day with @ozekiland as part of @MultCoLib Everybody Reads program. Thank you @literaryarts and @pdxlibrarylove for making this possible.#EverybodyReads

@turoczy it should include "fraudster" as a category. Cameron, his publisher & Fox News launched a sneaky, dishonest campaign against public libraries alleging that libraries all over the country are denying him the opportunity to speak to families about his new book & "biblical wisdom."

[Vailey Oehlke @MultCoLib_Dir]

@ThornsFC Well done, Portland Thorns players and coaches! And thank you for being the paragon of integrity and team spirit. I wish I had you all as role models when I was a little girl.

The new @MultCoLib mobile library is here! If you see it in your neighborhood, be sure and check it out.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.

The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Library just opened in a working class neighborhood in Barcelona. It’s magical. It’s real. And it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why every city doesn’t give its residents palaces for the people. #library

[Multnomah County, OR @multco]

As temperatures continue to climb today and tomorrow, review these accessible and easy options for keeping yourself cool, as recommended by @TheLancet medical journal.

And don't forget to check https://t.co/p0spiTGnLe frequently for the latest info about cooling resources.

[Homeless Services Department - Multnomah County @multco_hsd]

Central Library is open extended hours this week to provide respite from the heat. It's nice and cool inside. Cooling shelters will open tomorrow in several locations - check back for details and updates at https://t.co/2H0GE0pE2A . @trimet free for ppl headed to a cooling place.

[Multnomah County, OR @multco]

As forecasts show temps potentially surging to triple digits tomorrow, 4 overnight cooling shelters & 1 daytime cooling center will open July 26. City & County are monitoring forecasts and will add cooling sites as needed to ensure no one is turned away

Our region will likely see a stretch of very hot weather this week. Make a plan to find relief from the heat & please take steps to connect/check in with neighbors, esp. those who are older, live alone or don't have AC. Visit https://t.co/VqytLZ8ECT often for more info/resources.

[Free Geek @FreeGeekPDX]

We had our first Welcome to Computers class in over a year, where we were able to teach participants basic digital skills and provide them with their new device! Thanks @multcolib for partnering with us on this project 😊

[Vailey Oehlke @MultCoLib_Dir]

This woman was amazing. She understood the impact public libraries could have on people's lives and worked hard to make it happen.

[Cascadia Health @cascadia_health]

Check out this story about our Library Crisis Team from @KOINNews! The program is part of Project Respond, and it provides outreach, engagement, and crisis response to @MultCoLib patrons experiencing behavioral health challenges, among other services. 💙
