he Sisters Library is currently closed to allow for remodeling (new library to open in Fall 2023). A temporary library is now open in a mobile unit on the current library property.
The Sisters Library will undergo remodeling starting in January, with an expected completion date of Fall 2023. During this time, a temporary library space will be open on the northwest corner of the library property.
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.

Gus Orviston is a young fly fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own path. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, he sets out in pursuit of the Pacific Northwest's elusive steelhead. But what begins as a physical quarry becomes a spiritual one as his quest for self-knowledge batters him with unforeseeable experiences.

Ever wonder what you would do in the case of a natural disaster?
This is an in-person program.
Oregon and the Pacific Northwest are famous for diverse landscapes -- from rugged coastlines, lush forests, snow covered mountains, and arid high deserts. But these landscapes have been shaped by violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Could geologic events like this occur again in the future? And what can we do to prepare for natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
In this presentation, geologist Daniele McKay will explore why these events occur in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We will look at examples of what future earthquakes and volcanic activity might look like here in central Oregon, and how we can prepare for these events.
Dr. Daniele McKay is an adjunct instructor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon. She lives in Bend, Oregon and teaches online geology courses throughout the academic year, and field courses in central Oregon during the summer. Her research background is in physical volcanology with a focus on recent mafic eruptions in the central Oregon Cascades. She is also interested in how societies prepare for and respond to natural disasters, especially volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. She has worked with Deschutes County, the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience, and the Red Cross on natural hazard preparedness and mitigation in central Oregon.
