Welcome the new assistant director
We would like to introduce you to the new assistant director for The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library, Amy Schoppert. A former resident of Tacoma, Washington, Amy comes to us from the King County Library System in Wash-ington State.
Among other things, Amy will be responsible for staff scheduling; as well as helping Jeff Wavrunek, the District Librarian, with the day-to-day running of the library. These duties require someone that can be adapta-ble, which Amy has proven she is ca-pable of by being a volunteer for Multnomah County Library.
But wait, didn’t you just read that she comes from Tacoma? How can she be a volunteer for Multnomah County Library? Yes indeed; and perhaps we should also mention how resourceful she is. Amy has been a volunteer for Answerland, serving library patrons from across Or-egon. Answerland (also known as Chat with a librarian), is an online service that uses librarians from across the state and around the world to provide 24-hour ref-erence service for all Oregonians.
For those of you thinking that her last name sounds familiar, you may know her husband, John, who is the library director at Columbia Gorge Community College.
Please join us in giving Amy a warm welcome to the community here at The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library. We are excited to have her as part of our staff; and know that she will bring with her many new ideas and great suggestions.
Yu-Gi-Oh tournament
There will be a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament on Saturday, January 17th starting at
11:00 a.m. in the meeting room at The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library.
This year there will be two levels of play. The Be-ginner Level, for those new to Yu-Gi-Oh. The Master Level is for those that have been playing for sometime.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game is a Japanese collectible card battle game de-veloped and published by Konami. Based on the Duel Monsters concept from the original manga series, the game sees players using a combination of monsters, spells and traps to defeat their opponents.
There will be prizes for first and sec-ond place winners in both levels.
Contact Jayne at 541-296-2815, or email at [email protected] for more information.

Movies @The Library
What a great way to spend a cold Saturday afternoon, watching a free movie at
the library! The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library will be showing two movies
during the month of January.
Dolphin Tale 2 at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 3rd:
Warner Bros. Pictures and Alcon Entertainment’s Dolphin Tale 2 continues the story
of the brave dolphin Winter, whose miraculous rescue and rehabilitation—thanks to
the invention of a groundbreaking prosthetic tail—made her a symbol of persever-
ance to people around the world and inspired the 2011 family hit movie Dolphin
Tale.
The BoxTrolls at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 24th:
A family event movie from the creators of “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” that intro-
duces audiences to a new breed of family – The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky,
mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named
Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead Wright) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve
built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald
Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), comes up with a plot to get rid of
the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, “into the light,” where he
meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnie (Elle Fanning). Together, they
devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family .
Dufur School/Community Library A knitting group meets in the library in Dufur, and anyone is invited to join
them. The Dufur Knitting Club meets on Thursday nights, from 6:00 until 8:00.
Dufur School/Community Library will be closed on Monday, January 19th and
Monday, January 26th.

Story times Toddler Time, for birth to 3 years old, is held every
Wednesday morning at 10:30 in the meeting room at The
Dalles-Wasco County Public Library. This 20 minute pro-
gram is full of songs, fingerplays and
lapsits, and a book or two. There is
plenty of time afterwards for the kids to
play and the adults to visit.
On Friday mornings at 10:30 you can
join us at The Dalles or in Maupin for
Pre-school Story Time. This fun pro-
gram, full of songs and stories, and sometimes a craft or
two, is perfect for the 3 to 6-year-olds, though all ages are
welcome.
Game Days Teens (ages 12-18) can join us at
The Dalles-Wasco County Public
Library for Game Days on Mondays,
January 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th
from 3:00 —5:00 p.m. in the library’s
meeting room. Board games, PS2
and the Wii are available for the teens.
Game Day for younger school age kids (ages 7-12) will
be from 10:00 a.m. — 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 3rd;
and 10:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 17th .
Board games are always available to play with in the
library.
We meet at 6:30 p.m. the third
Thursday of the month up-
stairs in the magazine cor-
ner. Each month there is a
new book to read and dis-
cuss, while enjoying light
refreshments and great com-
panionship.
The book we are reading
for the January 15th discus-
sion is The language of flow-
ers, by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
A mesmerizing, moving,
and elegantly written debut novel, The
Language of Flowers beautifully weaves
past and present, creating a vivid por-
trait of an unforgettable woman whose
gift for flowers helps her change the
lives of others even as she struggles to
overcome her own troubled past.
The Victorian language of flowers
was used to convey roman-
tic expressions: honeysuckle
for devotion, asters for pa-
tience, and red roses for
love. But for Victoria Jones,
it’s been more useful in
communicating grief, mis-
trust, and solitude. After a
childhood spent in the foster
-care system, she is unable
to get close to anybody, and
her only connection to the
world is through flowers and their
meanings.
Now eighteen and emancipated
from the system, Victoria has nowhere
to go and sleeps in a public park,
where she plants a small garden of her
own. Soon a local florist discovers her
talents, and Victoria realizes she has a
gift for helping others through the
flowers she chooses for them. But a
mysterious vendor at the flower mar-
ket has her questioning what’s been
missing in her life, and when she’s
forced to confront a painful secret from
her past, she must decide whether it’s
worth risking everything for a second
chance at happiness.
For those of you that need to plan a
little further in advance, the planned
book for February will be Worthy
Brown’s daughter, by Phillip Margolin.
Copies of these books (as well as
audio recordings) are widely available
in the Sage Library System. All readers
are welcome (and for those of you
wondering, NO, you do not have to
have a library card in order to join us),
even if you haven’t finished the book.
“Third Thursday” book group at The Dalles
Southern Wasco County Library The Southern Wasco
County Public Library
welcomes all two
through five year olds to
attend Story Time every
Friday from 10:30am to
11:00am. Each week we
explore a different
theme. There will be stories, sharing, music, crafts and
more! Activities will be geared for the two through
five age range but all ages are welcome. See you
there!
Located on the main street, the Maupin Library of-
fers internet access and a nice selection of reading ma-
terial.
If you have ever been inside the library in Maupin,
you know how crowded they are. Fundraising is un-
derway to provide a new building for the library (and
new area for City Hall as well). If you would like to
help in any way, please contact the Maupin library at
(541)395-2208.

Join the Friends of the Library
This letter was sent out recently to members of the Friends group. If you are not currently a member, now is the per-
fect time to join. Ask for an application form the next time you come to the library. There are some perks to being a
member of the Friends, such as personal invitations to any programs sponsored by the Friends. Or, my favorite, early
entrance into the book sales.
