The Aloha Community Library reports that it has reached about $10,400 of a $15,000 fundraising goal as of Tuesday, April 29.

A challenge grant received by the library means that up to $15,000 will be matched, dollar for dollar, at the end of the fundraising. However, the matching grant requires that the library collect at least $15,000.

The money goes toward library services and programs, such as the summer reading program that will start in the next couple months. Donations can be made online.

Here are some other Beaverton-area highlights:

  • A tale of twerking has been picked up by news sources around the northwest following the arrest of three women on Monday, April 28. The arrests were related to possession of drugs. Two of the women had been twerking in the parking lot of Beaverton City Hall; Beaverton police have confirmed twerking is not a crime.
  • Beaverton Civic Theater’s production of “The Elephant Man” opens on Friday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available online.
  • A team of students from the Beaverton area, Hot Wired, won a world championship in robotics last weekend.
