These <br />improvements would increase the safety, efficiency and capacity of this collector <br />street, and also provide better access for alternative modes. <br /> <br />Staff will be on hand to present general information about the project, discuss the <br />public process for proceeding with the project, and review estimated costs to <br />property owners who would pay a portion of the improvement costs through <br />assessments. It’s also an opportunity for staff to hear comments, questions, <br />concerns and feedback before moving into the design phase of the project. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Patrick Cox, project manager, at 541-682-6854 or <br />Patrick.M.Cox@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br />Storytime FUNdamentals Workshop at Eugene Public Library <br />The Downtown Eugene Public Library will hold “Storytime FUNdamentals,” a workshop for adults who work with young <br />children, on Saturday, Jan. 21, from 1 – 3 p.m. The program is free-of-charge, but pre-registration is required: please <br />call 541-682-8316. <br /> <br />This lively workshop will explore fun ways to help children become “reading- <br />ready.” Participants will learn why and how to support kids’ developing literacy <br />through everyday activities including talking, singing, playing, reading, and writing. <br /> <br />Cara Haakanson and Barbara DeRobertis of the Eugene Public Library’s Youth <br />Services staff will share updated information from the national program “Every <br />Child Ready to Read,” plus favorite storytime books, activities, songs, and expert <br />tips. <br /> <br />The workshop is for adults only, and counts as training for licensed childcare <br />providers through Family Connections of Lane and Douglas counties. <br /> <br /> For more information, call the Eugene Public Library at 541-682-8316 or visit www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />January 5, 2012 <br />
