The Sisters Library will resume operations in mid-October. A Grand Opening Celebration will take place on October 28 from noon – 2:00 p.m. (ribbon cutting at 2:15 p.m.).


The Sisters Library features 8,300 square feet of space, all housed in an exterior design that includes a partial wraparound porch with the Western appearance for which Sisters is famous. Though the building itself was constructed in 2005, Sisters has a tradition of library service that goes back decades.

In addition to a robust selection of books, music, and DVDs, the library also offers public computers as well as children’s story times and adult programming in the community meeting room. The interior design features vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace that creates a cozy reading area. Rotating art and quilt exhibitions reflect the talent of the local community. Free WiFi is available throughout the building.

    1:00 PM - Thursday - Sisters Firehouse Community Hall

    This program has been cancelled.

    Hear about our celestial neighbors and upcoming Annular Eclipse.

    In this public-level presentation that is full of awesome astronomical photos Dr. Fisher will tell us the tale of our celestial neighbors the Moon and the Sun, and how they will interact for the upcoming Annular Eclipse on October 14th. We will also learn facts about the Moon and the Sun, their orbits, and how they both affect the Earth (and vice versa!). Along the way we will talk about how to safely observe the upcoming eclipse.

    This presentation is made specifically for public audiences and contains images of the Sun and sky taken from telescopes like the Hubble Space telescope and our own Pine Mountain Observatory located right in central Oregon. Dr. Fisher will be happy to answer questions from the audience and is even willing to play a round of "Stump the astronomer" with folks who attend the event!

    Dr. Scott Fisher is a faculty member in the University of Oregon Department of Physics where he teaches introductory-level astronomy courses and serves as the Director for Undergraduate Studies for the department. Scott is the Director of Pine Mountain Observatory, which is located about 30 miles east of Bend, OR in an area with some of the darkest skies left in the continental US. Scott previously worked at the National Science Foundation in Washington, DC where he was responsible for selecting and funding astronomy programs across the United States. Before his time in Washington, Scott was based in Hilo, Hawaii where he worked as a staff scientist of the Gemini Observatory. At Gemini, he worked as an instrument scientist and as a member of the Gemini Outreach team.

    In addition to his love of astronomy, Scott is an amateur photographer and a Geocacher. When he is not observing, he can often be found in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or anywhere with nightlife full of bright neon lights, poker cards, and casino chips!

    Got a broken something? Bring it to be repaired!
    ¿Tienes algo que esté roto? ¡Tráelo al Repair Café!

    This is an in-person program.

    The Environmental Center's Rethink Waste Project coordinates with an amazing group of volunteer fixers to host Repair Cafés every few months. These free events connect people with broken stuff to people who like to fix stuff - they're all about repairing things (together). Stuff like jewelry, small appliances and electronics, outdoor gear, clothing, and more. Repair Cafés are held around the world! Repairing with other people saves natural resources, prevents waste, and cultivates community.

    What to expect
    Attendees bring their broken items to the registration table to receive a Repair Ticket, then wait until their number is called. Experienced fixer volunteers will attempt to repair or mend your items and may teach you how to fix them yourself. Fixers can diagnose an issue and offer their best, unbiased advice.

    Some items are more difficult to repair, can take longer than we have time for at the event, or even break more during a repair attempt. Our repair rate is over 65%, with most of the remaining items receiving take-home repair instructions.

    What to bring
    Clothing, textiles, outdoor gear, electronics, small appliances, and other household goods. Not sure if it can be fixed? Bring it!

    Only bring items small enough to be easily carried by one person, and do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, or dirty. Repairers can turn down any items that do not meet these guidelines.
    A maximum of one broken item per person will be examined at a time, but you are welcome to bring several items. After each item is examined/repaired, you must return to the registration table to be matched with another fixer volunteer for a second item.

    We will have a runner who will make trips to the hardware store if parts are needed. While the event and repairs are free, you will be responsible for the cost of any additional parts. Please bring cash for parts just in case!

    The Environmental Center was born to inspire locals to live lighter on the planet. Our work began with a handful of people and a building in the center of Bend. Today, we've grown to become a regional leader in environmental education, engagement, and action. Our team works alongside people of all ages, local businesses, and elected officials to create and advocate for meaningful, lasting change. Through unique programs and partnerships, we strive to engage as many people as possible in our mission: To embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon.
