On Monday, March 25th, the Stayton Public Library chugged up to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland for a special train-themed storytime like no other!

A total of 209 children and adults joined in for a morning filled with reading, dancing, and singing, all surrounded by historic trains and railroad displays. But the fun didn’t stop there—everyone climbed aboard a real locomotive for a breathtaking ride along the Willamette River!

To top it all off, every child took home a free book and toy, making this an unforgettable day of learning and adventure.

A huge THANK YOU to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center for making this event so special! From the museum space and train ride to the snacks, books, and train toys—you truly made this a day to remember.
