Hello! Kujira Library was founded as a donation and volunteer based Japanese children's book library in 2013 by Saori and housed/moved through couple SE Portland churches past years. The library recently moved from the church to my tiny living room at a private home in June 2025 due to Saori’s retirement and I inherited the books. At Kujira Library, we share Japanese books & culture 📚 and also offer some workshops relating to weaving community, living slow, small and with nature 🌿
We have small Open House with sweet friends on Saturday, Aug 16: Jorinji Direct Sale pick up (10-2), Music & Story Time♫ (10-11am), Handwork mending/darning gathering 🪡🧵🧶 (12-2), Origami activities (12pm〜), Bon Dance 💃 (after story time & end of the event). Also, light snacks available from Kujira library inside the house 🍙🍪🥮
Come join us and we would love to talk with you:)
