One Book, One Beaverton is in full swing with three special events coming up the week of Jan. 18!

Rough Sleepers Book Discussion
Tuesday, Jan. 20 | 6-7 PM | Meeting Room A (Main Library) | Registration required
Join us for a book discussion of Rough Sleepers facilitated by library staff.

Portland Street Medicine
Thursday, Jan. 22 | 5:30-6:30 PM | Meeting Room A (Main Library)
Much like Dr. O'Connell’s Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program, Portland Street Medicine meets the growing medical and health needs of those experiencing houselessness here in our region. Colten Smith, a healthcare provider with PSM, will share the history and mission of the organization and how the model of street medicine is uniquely structured to serve those who have been left out of traditional healthcare settings.

Empathy Cafe
Saturday, Jan. 24 | 2-3:30 PM | Meeting Room B (Main Library)
What is empathy and how can we work to cultivate it? At Empathy Cafe, we will use small-group discussion to explore the concept and work to apply empathy to our unhoused neighbors. Please join us for open, honest, and respectful conversation about how to flex our empathy muscles!
