The North Bend Public Library is inviting the community to think small and create big for its Tiny Art Show and Gala, featuring artwork made by local artists of all ages. Throughout the month of April, participants can create original artwork measuring no larger than 3”x3” using their own supplies or a mini art kit provided by the Library. Art kits will be available at the Library beginning Wednesday, April 1, while supplies last. Completed artwork must be submitted to the Library by Friday, April 24. The Tiny Art Show will be displayed in the library throughout the month of May, showcasing the creativity of the North Bend community in miniature form. Then, to celebrate the exhibit, the library will host a Tiny Art Gala on Friday, May 22 at 4:00 PM. Artists and art enthusiasts are invited to dress up and enjoy an afternoon celebrating the creativity on display. Beverages and light snacks will be provided as guests enjoy the exhibit in style.

We have a wide assortment of food available. Bags with staple items are pre-filled, but we will gladly add any special requests if they are available. When you visit, there is always a simple lunch. On the last Wednesday of every month, we serve a pretty darned good hot meal with salad and a huge table filled with pies and desserts. We call it a community lunch. All are welcomed.

In recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, the North Bend Public Library will host a Mocktail Making Class on Wednesday, April 1 from 2:00-3:30 PM. Katrina McReynolds, Prevention Manager at Coos Health & Wellness, will show us how to create refreshing, flavorful mocktails in an interactive class. Participants will learn how to mix creative non-alcoholic beverages that are festive, fun, and alcohol-free.

April is designated as Alcohol Awareness Month, a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness about alcohol use and misuse, promoting education, and connecting individuals to prevention and treatment resources. This program offers a positive, engaging way to explore alternatives and support healthy choices.

The Mocktail Making Class is free and geared towards adults.

Oregonians are rightfully proud of our unique and beautiful state. Indeed, so committed are we to this delightful corner of the universe that many of us probably think that the health and safety of our environment is constitutionally protected. This is not the case!
The Public Trust Doctrine, which dates from ancient Roman Law, asserts that sovereigns and governments have a duty to manage natural resources (our land, water, air and ecosystems) for the ongoing benefit of the public. We currently protect our environment through laws established by the legislature, interpreted by the courts, and enforced by state agencies. State agencies then enforce the regulations. However, we enjoy no explicit constitutional guarantee to the safe and healthy environment that we would like to maintain or restore. Accordingly, the Oregon Coalition for an Environmental Rights Amendment (OCERA) argues that we should consider enshrining such a right into our state Constitution to secure a sustainable, prosperous future.
The question before us is this: Is there a reason for Oregonians to support a Constitutional Amendment to enshrine for us the right to a safe and healthy environment? Mel Martin, OCERA Coordinator will join Southern Oregon Climate Action Now on Wednesday April 1st at 4:00pm in the Science Auditorium in the Science Building at SOU to explore this question and seek comments and stories from Southern Oregonians about how climate change and such an amendment might affect them.
