NEXT WEEK AT YOUR LIBRARY

The Coos Bay Public Library will host a Self-Defense Seminar on September 21 from 3-4:30 p.m. Join Coach T.J. Brownfield from Gracie Myrtle Point Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for an afternoon seminar focused on self-defense tactics for the real world. Learn ways to break grips, escape chokes, and defend yourself while in a safe environment. Registration is open to anyone age 13-99.

Movie Night at the Library September 25 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Join us on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month for a free, themed movie at the Library. This month we will be celebrating the return of fall with some of our favorite back-to-school movies that are also modern adaptations of literature classics. Movies shown range from PG to R ratings. Free popcorn and beverages provided.

Art at the Library will be held on Thursday, September 26, from 3-6 p.m. From the depths of mythology to the modern era, apples have grasped the interest of artists. We will be taking time to do a study of apples, painting them from different perspectives, different styles. The study of apples will be painted on miniature canvases allowing you to paint multiple apples at once. Paint and canvases will be provided. Please wear appropriate clothing. Open to all ages.

Thursday, September 26 from 7-8:30 p.m. learn about the efforts to restore the Otter population in Oregon. Thousands of sea otters once lived on the Oregon coast, but in 1906 the last sea otter in Oregon was killed. In the span of a few centuries, Pacific Northwest Sea Otter populations completely disappeared in a fur trade frenzy. While this story mirrors the tragedies that happened for many species during colonization, there is hope for the return of this social animal. Join us for a presentation by Kyle Motley from the Elakha Alliance on the current efforts to return the beloved sea otter to the Oregon coast.
