Ukulele lessons, small kitchen appliances available at Scappoose Public Library CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net
Columbia County residents can now go to the Scappoose Public Library for more than just books. Thanks to two grants received in December from the Columbia County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Public Library Innovation Fund, children can take free ukulele lessons every Mon-
day at 4:30 p.m. at the library, and, starting in the spring, all library patrons can benefit from a new library of things, namely small kitchen appliances to check out. Children can take part in the ukulele lessons regardless of their residence, and the library of things will be open to St. Helens residents as well as Scappoose residents because of a reciprocal agreement that the Scappoose
Public Library has with the St. Helens Public Library, Jeff Weiss, Scappoose Public Library Director said. The grant from the Columbia County Cultural Coalition totals $2,000 and funds the free ukulele lessons for children. While the library has always had ukulele lessons for adults, local parent Alexandra Collins wanted one for children too, and was able to reach out to Aaron Cantwell,
St. Helens local who plays in the kindie rock band, Micah and Me!, to start a children’s group in September of 2019. At that time, lessons cost $10 for children. Free lessons began this past Monday, Jan. 6, and will be held every Monday until the end of May. In addition to bringing the musical expertise Christine Menges / The Chronicle
