This week’s One Book, One Beaverton events:
History of Portland’s Chinatown
Thursday, Jan. 18 | 6-7 PM | Meeting Room A (Main Library)
Did you know that there were two Chinatowns in historical downtown Portland? Learn more about early Chinese Americans in Portland with Terry Chung, retired educator and founding board member of the Portland Chinatown History Foundation. He’ll be sharing an intimate look at one of Oregon’s earliest and often overlooked immigrant communities.
Exploring the Power of Family Stories
Sunday, Jan. 21 | 2-4 PM | Meeting Room A (Main Library) | Registration required
This guided writing workshop, led by Lisa Kagan of Family Heirloom Arts, will give participants the opportunity to explore their own cultural inheritance of family stories. How has this inheritance shaped your sense of personal identity, and what will you pass on to the next generation? No previous writing experience necessary. All are welcome!
Explore the other One Book, One Beaverton events happening throughout January!
