We are excited to announce that this July will

see the Library’s first ever Maker in Residence

visiting the community of The Dalles. Artist

Arthur Hash will travel to our community the

last week of the month from Providence, RI

where he is a professor of contemporary jewelry

and advanced 3D digital manufacturing at the

Rhode Island School of Design. Professor Hash

is internationally recognized in his field for be-

ing one of the first jewelers to use a 3D printer to

make his work. Both his process and style have

inspired designers around the world, and he can

be credited as one of the original contributors to

a growing movement of artists and designers

using 3D printers.

As a Maker in Residence, he will spend four

days working in our library, using 3D printers

and other technology to offer classes and a lec-

ture to interested patrons. The residency will

open with an Artist’s Talk on July 25th at 6:30

pm discussing his life’s work and featuring im-

agery and examples of pieces completed over the years. This lecture will be the open-

ing of Professor Hash’s residency, which will also offer two classes on 3D printing for

patrons of our library to sign up for. The first class on July 27th, titled Mini Makers,

will offer teens a glimpse into basic modeling programs, 3D scanners, and 3D print-

ers. Participants will get a chance to scan their face, load it and manipulate it on a

computer, and finally print their own self portrait. On July 28th and 29th he will be of-

fering a more extensive class, for patrons sixteen and older, teaching the basics of

CAD modeling for 3D printers. Participants will learn the fundamentals of 3D design,

reverse engineering, and 3d printing for the purpose of future projects. Both classes

will be capped at 15 participants. Interested patrons can sign up starting July 3rd at

our front checkout desk.

Arthur Hash’s residency will be the first in many Makers in Residence that we will

be bringing in over the coming years, and we are looking forward to his visit.

This group usually meets upstairs in the magazine corner, at 4:30 p.m. on

the first and third Monday of each month. Make awesome crafts and learn

from your friends. No experience needed.

Yu-gi-oh Club

It’s time to d-d-d-duel with your fellow Yu-gi-oh fans! Bring your deck and let the battle begin. Meets in the library’s meeting room at 3:30 p.m.

the first and third Thursday of each month.

FREE admission to the Maryhill Museum on Saturday, July 1st when you attend the Literature and Art storytime at 11:00. This brief storytime con-nects art and books. After-wards, enjoy the museum with your family.

Mystery/Crime Book Group

This book group meets on the second Thursday of the month, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. upstairs in the magazine cor-ner. The club reads LGBTQA materials and is open to all interested adults, no matter what your sexual orientation. The next meeting takes place on July 13th. If you have any questions or suggestions, or would like to sign up, call the library at 541-296-2815 and ask for Barbara.

Book groups of interest to adults

The Mystery/Crime Book Group meets upstairs in the magazine corner at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of most months. The book they are reading for the July 22nd meeting is A is for Alibi, by Sue Grafton. If there's one thing that makes Kinsey Millhone feel alive, it's playing on the edge. When her investigation turns up a second corpse, more suspects, and a new reason to kill, Kinsey discovers that the edge is closer―and sharper―than she imagined.

Pride Book Club

As the name implies, this group meets at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. The meetings are held upstairs in the magazine corner. The book for the July 20th discussion is Back when we were grownups, by Anne Tyler. "Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered that she had turned into the wrong person." So Anne Tyler opens this irresistible new novel. The woman is Rebecca Davitch, a fifty-three-year-old grandmother. Is she an impostor in her own life? she asks herself. Is it indeed her own life? Or is it someone else’s? Anyone is welcome to join this discussion group, even if you haven’t read the book. There’s always room for one more.

Third Thursday Book Group

Sci-Fi Book Club

Another new book group is starting up, meeting the third Tuesday of each month. If you’re a fan of science fiction, then you’ll want to join this book club at The Dalles Public Library. You’ll meet other sci-fi fans, and talk about what books you’d like to read for discussion.

The next meeting will be July 18th at 5:30 p.m. in the library’s meeting room. They will be discussing The handmaids tale, by Margaret Atwood.

Brews & Books

Introducing our newest book group, Brews & Books, which meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:30. What makes the group so unique is the fact that it does not meet at the library, but instead will meet at various locations in the community. Each month the group will meet at a different place, such as Freebridge, Route 30, Sedition, and Clock Tower Ales. The meeting on July 6th will be at Freebridge Brewing. The book they will be discussing is The drunken botanist, by Amy Stewart. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.

The Friends of the Library (FOL) meet the second Wednesday of each month at 1:00 pm. These meetings, which are

open to the public, take place in the meeting room at The Dalles Public Library. If you would like to become more ac-

tively involved with the FOL, make plans to attend the next meeting, which will be on July 12th.

The Friends will hold their next book sale on Saturday, July 8th in the Book Barn, located in

the upper parking lot. This bag-style sale will start at 9:00, and go until noon. Purchase a plastic

bag and fill it with as many books as you can

Friends of the Library

Share special time with your family on Wednesday

nights, starting at 6:30, at the Library. Each week will be a

different, family oriented event.

The first Wednesday of the month

will be Family Craft Night. The

planned project for July 5th is rock

painting. Turn an ordinary rock into

an extraordinary masterpiece. Your imagination is your

only limit!

The second Wednesday of the month is

Family Movie Night. The planned movie for

July 12th is Pete’s Dragon: For years, Mr.

Meacham has told tales of the fierce dragon

deep in the woods. To his daughter, Grace,

these stories are little more than tall tales,

until she meets Pete. Pete is a mysterious ten

-year-old with no family who claims to live in the woods

with a giant, green dragon named Elliot.

Wednesday night is Family Night
