Oregon City Public Library

As the autumn days grow shorter and colder, it's time to replace our iced tea and frappuccino glasses with mugs of coffee, tea, hot cider, and hot cocoa. What better way to protect our tables than with these embroidered, layered felt mug rugs, shaped like the lovely autumn leaves that will soon cloak the trees and carpet the ground in mounds of brilliant color? They come together very quickly, making them a perfect hostess gift or stocking stuffers. You can also stuff these embroidered leaves and turn them into ornaments. All supplies are provided.

Seed Cleaning & Seed Saving Demonstration and Workshop with Kay Everts

Learn how to use seed screens and a winnowing fan to clean a variety of seeds. Discover simple, effective seed-saving techniques and try them yourself at our hands-on seed cleaning station.

Bring seeds from your own garden, or clean some of ours! Now is a good time, between rain showers, to go through your garden and look for seed heads. Bring them indoors to dry, then bring them to the class to save the seeds! Take them home or donate them to the seed library!

Presented and funded by the Friends of the Oregon City Public Library.
