You can find Western Grebes dancing on water, or hear the Pacific Wren’s song cascade through a mossy forest. Sarah Swanson & Max Smith’s book Must-See Birds of the Pacific Northwest is a lively, practical guide that helps readers discover 85 of the region’s most extraordinary birds. Each bird profile includes notes on what they eat, where they migrate from, and where to find them in Washington and Oregon. Profiles also include stunning color photographs of each bird. Sarah & Max will be here to talk birds and sign books December 7th 2-4pm. Local history buff’s Ken and Kris Bilderback have won numerous awards, for their book Creek With No Name- How the West Was Won and Lost in Gaston Oregon and their newest book, Fire in a Small Town- a tribute to volunteer firefighters. They spend countless hours researching their work then creatively present the history. Meet the Bilderback’s and find out what their next local history treasure will be Sunday December 8th 12-3pm . What we think of today as Aloha or Aloha-Reedville was once a collection of small villages that developed near rivers and established overland routes. Janel Josephson's research into the history of the Aloha-Reedville community in Washington County, Oregon, led to the discovery of connections to her own pioneer family, who settled in Clackamas County in 1845. She describes the history thru beautiful photographs in her book Images of America Aloha-Reedville. Meet Janel Sunday December 8th 12-3pm.
