Hello, Washington County! 🎉
I just learned that the Brookwood Hillsboro Library has adult story nights where adults can drink tea and eat cookies while listening to a librarian read a story 🥹 How charming and wonderful does that sound?! If you’re in the Hillsboro area and ever attend, please let me know how delightful it is!
Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.
✅ means it’s a free event. If you’re enjoying a free event at a spot with food or drinks, show some love by supporting the venue!
