    So many others have mentioned the books, DVDs, library of things, Kanopy subscription, events and…read moreother elements that make it worthwhile to hold a library card here (the donuts aren't bad, either). But I can think of three reason off of the top of their catalog to keep going here: 1. Flamer by Mike Curato 2. Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kulkin 3. Heartstopper, by Alice Oseman You don't have to travel very far from Brookwood Parkway to find people who want these books taken out of kids' hands or incinerated just because they're unwilling to have conversation with their own children or unable to cope with what those conversations might mean. You don't have to pretend that it's only the burden of far-flung portions of the state to deal with those who'd prefer to ban books than discuss their context or meaning. In the library's backyard, there are folks with a friendly smile on their face and a cup of coffee to sell you who'd have each of these books removed expeditiously for specious reasons while outright slurring the people depicted within the pages. Granted, they call a lot of these same good folks neighbors, clergy, employees, family, and "friends" while taking their labor, payment, and tithes, but I guess letting people reach their own conclusions about their stories is the step they won't take. Well, many thanks to the Hillsboro Public Library for offering these books to anyone willing to read them. A library is often a first step along anyone's journey of self discovery (someone in the comments figured out they wanted to make horror movies, and started that walk here), and offering them the freedom to do so is a foundational portion of a public library's existence. Instead of closing that road, more of the library's neighbors should come along for the trip.

    I love Hillsboro Public Library! I'm an avid reader and have checked out many books over the years…read moreI've been a member! There's a section of Best Sellers that current popular books are available for check out. I've checked out some epic reads without having to wait. I like browsing the shelves and seeing staff picks placed on placards next to the book on the shelf. I've read many books that I wouldn't have read otherwise from the recommendations. I've recently started checking audio books and books on Kindle through the Libby app. I love it! I love that they do different events. I've taken my grandkids to family friendly events. Last week I had to check out the current artwork being displayed. I was mesmerized by the Warrior Women Portraits by Danyel Rogers. I received an email that there was an artist reception being put on for her. Many of the subjects of her photographs were in the audience. The reception was nicely done. I hope to make many future events!

    I'm a Boxer alum ('03) and Pacific provided me with the best four years of my life and prepared me…read moreto be a successful woman in my career. It truly is a family environment. They are focused on pre-health careers and rooted in the liberal arts; ultimately shaping holistic, life-long learners ready to take on any challenge. My advisors are still close friends as are members of student life. Even after seven years I can roll out there and it feels like time hasn't passed at all (except for the growth and expansion of programs, buildings, and athletics).

From 50 ft away I could hear her from the first word she spoke as she approached the kids, she was brash, short, unprofessional and intimidating towards the kids. Her entire tone and approach screamed authoritative and controlling. Glad I walked over and defended the kids and I'm not one bit surprised that she docked up and got right in my face and proceeded to scream at me and demand I get off the dock that she personally purchased and owns.... Then told me I needed to hand over my drivers license and fishing license to her.... A real class act. Pacific University needs to reprimand Claire Ratcliffe, as she yelled her alleged name into my face after telling her to have a blessed night and stop engaging with me or the kids, and get her HR trained ASAP!!! She's a massive risk to the University and I'm surprised she's staff at a campus that promotes the preservation of growth and intelligence in our youth and their future but also megaphones and bullies little kids.... Incredibly inappropriate, unkind and honestly down right dangerous... she's gonna get someone hurt by not properly knowing how to communicate to the public why the rowing team needs first rights to the rec dock. Professionalism and communication is the opposite of what she showed to those random kids, then me once I approached. She only backed down once the kids were video taping her and I told her to be careful or she might wind up on the internet...
