Educational materials galore and advice on how to use them for lesson plans in and out of the classroom. That's what's available at the Umpqua Valley Resource Library, all for free.

The News-Review ran this recent column explaining how the Oregon Connections database can forge valuable links among Douglas County educators and potential volunteers in the business and academic fields. Stay tuned for more on this exciting prospect.
