CBPL release – On Wednesday July 17th, the Coos Bay Public Library and the Coos Art Museum invites everyone for a historic walking tour of the downtown Coos Bay area, with a focus on historic buildings. We will be taking time at each location to sketch some of the area, while getting to know a little bit about the building itself. We will be meeting at the Coos Art Museum to start the tour and then make our way around the downtown area. We will be going to the Coos Art Museum, the Egyptian Theater, Tioga Building, Carnegie Library, Old City Hall, Buggee Bank, and the Chandler Building. You can visit the Coos Bay Public Library at 525 Anderson Ave in Coos Bay.

Yoga for Teens
Local yoga instructor Kelli Bosak will offer a yoga series geared towards teens three Wednesdays this July (July 17, 24, 31) at 6:00pm at the Coos Bay Public Library. The program is free and open to teens ages 13 and up. Each teen who attends will receive a free yoga mat as well as a water bottle; teens may attend one or all sessions. No pre-registration is required. Yoga is considered both an art and science, and it can aid in helping to access inner strength and find balance within. In Yoga for Teens, students will practice physical yoga poses, basic breathing techniques, mindfulness meditation, and explore self-compassion. Emphasis is placed on de-stressing the body through movement and calming the mind through stillness to improve focus and inner sense of wellbeing. Class is appropriate for teens who are new to yoga or want to continue to practice with the support of an instructor. The event is part of the Coos Bay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. During the summer, the Library offers both a reading challenge and programming for all ages which encourage people to read, learn, connect and find their voice. Beginning June 17 and continuing through August 17, participants of any age can participate in the summer reading bingo challenge, earning badges and entry into prize drawings. Participants who register will get a special prize for entering. This year, people can participate either online or using a paper bingo sheet. Challenge registration is available on the Library’s website or at the Coos Bay Public Library.
