Learn what we can do to make an impact in reducing waste in our community.

As more and more people move to Deschutes County, more and more trash is being created for drop off at our nearly full Knott Landfill. Recycling, while an important part of the process, is not the solution to addressing the massive volume of waste in our community. Come learn about what to do to help make an impact to reduce waste in our community. We will address the current state of recycling and how to do it right, but talk more in-depth about other forms of waste diversion and prevention. What can you do to help rather than hinder?

Ani Kasch is the Rethink Waste Program Manager at The Environmental Center, a local non-profit organization working to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon where she has been educating the community for 2.5 years. She is passionate about waste reduction, especially around wasted food. She is an avid bike commuter and enjoys cooking and eating local food.

Take traditional mandalas into the future.

Learn how to create mandalas and design your own with computer parts. Mandala is a Sanskrit word that translates loosely to circle or center. Originally, mandalas were tied to spiritual development in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Today, mandalas are often depicted as circular designs with repeating shapes, colors, and patters that radiate from the center. Some might be incredibly symmetrical and geometric, while others are asymmetrical and organic. Try your hand at creating a mandala with supplied computer parts. Supplies limited.

Get help with your legal information questions.

Deschutes Public Library hosts the law library for Deschutes County. A print collection and robust legal databases are housed at the Downtown Bend Library, but we recognize that it’s difficult for many to make the journey into Bend. Instead, law library staff will be available at Sunriver Library on the third Thursday of the month from 4-6pm to assist with legal information questions.

Law Library Office Hours provides research training, legal reference assistance, and access to a variety of legal information resources. We can help identify relevant legal research materials, provide instruction on effective use of resources, and provide referrals to appropriate agencies or organizations.

Library staff may not engage in the practice of law, and are prohibited from interpreting legal materials or giving legal advice.
