September is finally upon us, and with that comes some exciting events in Pendleton, like the Annual Heritage Fair, the Homecoming Parade, and the Friends of the Library Lucky Duck Race. I'll admit that I didn't even know what a duck regatta was until the Friends hosted their first one three years ago. Considering that I grew up surrounded by lakes and streams, I feel like I missed some great opportunities for launching things into the water and watching them race! It's comical how suspenseful a duck race can be when it comes down to simply watching inanimate objects float down river. But, when that winning duck is pulled out of the water, you sure do hope that it's your number printed on the bottom.
Since June, the Friends of the Library have been selling ducks for their annual duck race, their single biggest fundraising event of the year. Soon, they'll have "all of their ducks in a row" so to speak, and will host what's sure to be a fun event in tandem with the Heritage Fair.
At 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 10th, we will launch nearly 200 ducks into The Falls and watch for the lucky winner to cross the finish line.
The Friends of the Library are a great group with lots of exciting things going on. They are always looking for new members with creative ideas on how to help support the library. Plus, joining the Friends is a great way to meet new people and get involved in your local community. For more information, call the library at 778-7527, or visit us at the Falls on September 10th and see first-hand what the Friends are up to!

By using their "One Card, One Student" (1C1S) library card, local students can access digital materials through the Pendleton Community Public Library’s Student Portal. The Portal offers access to e-books, audiobooks, educational databases, and learning resources, all carefully curated for subject matter and age appropriateness. The Student Portal also offers access to tutor.com, a live, one-on-one tutoring platform that provides personal assistance to students from elementary school to college. Some of these resources require a library barcode for access. Students should use the barcode on the back of their 1C1S card, if prompted. If asked for a PIN, use 1234. If you have questions about 1C1S, or any of the library’s resources or services, please call (765) 778-7527. |
