Because accessibility matters!
You are invited to join the Oregon City Public Library for a special ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the library's new “B.A.M. (Because Accessibility Matters) Books” Collection.
B.A.M. books are designed to be of interest to adult and young adult readers at a comparatively lower reading level with simple vocabulary and syntax, short chapters, a slim page count, and gripping storylines. They are written to engage developing readers by exploring complex, age-appropriate themes in a more accessible format. Sometimes called Hi/Lo books, they are an excellent choice for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, emerging adult and teen readers, English as a Second Language learners, and other readers wishing to develop their reading skills. Come and check out this exciting new collection!
The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place Monday, December 19, 2022 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM on the 2nd floor of the Oregon City Public Library, 606 John Adams Street in Oregon City.
More information about the library's B.A.M. program is available at www.orcity.org/library/bam-program.
