Oregon’s World War II Shipyards
Dear Friends,
You’re invited to this special event on Wednesday evening at the library. Learn the untold story of NW Oregon and SW Washington’s WWII shipyards on the Columbia River. Peter will interweave the history of the three shipyards with tales of Astoria’s role in the war.
The Library Friends will hold a special pop-up bookshop of WWII and nautical books following the presentation.
We hope to see you there.
Renowned chef Andy Catalano will demonstrate how to make tagliatelle alla Bolognese
Dear Friends of the Astoria Library,
You're invited! This Wednesday, May 20, at 5:30p.m. the library will present renowned chef Andy Catalano demonstrating how to make tagliatelle alla Bolognese using items that can be borrowed from our new Library of Things. Learn how to use an induction burner plus KitchenAid stand mixer and three attachments: meat grinder, shredder, and pasta roller. Bring a friend and come early to peruse the ALFA Bookshop's cookbook and gardening collection. Stay late to enjoy a taste of Andy's creation. We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Pat Thomas
