Latest News

Whew. There is so much going on over here at Nurture; I feel like the my brain is riding the Tilt-a-Whirl. Here is a mini-update for anyone who has been missing our posts:


The Family Wellness Lending Library has almost 200 items. We are searching for the perfect shelves to house this fabulous collection. The inventory list should be up next week. Keep an eye out for it!


The NE Homegoods Library is almost ready to launch too! We have 1/2 of the inventory from the designated grant funds and way, way, more than I ever expected from generous donations! I met with Tom over at the NE Portland Tool Library today, and he had many words of wisdom and a check-out system program to share. Thank you, Tom and NEPTL!


Our website is finally making the BIG migration to a new host. There have been a few bumps in this transition, but everything should be smooth by next week (fingers crossed, feel free to join in the finger crossing!). In the meantime, the almost complete new site is up at www.nurturepdx.org Thank you for your support and patience as we move everything over. If you have sent an e-mail to one of the Nurture addresses and have not received a reply, try the same address with .org at the end.


Some other exciting news is that we just registered with Supportland and are eagerly awaiting cards to hand out to you! If you haven't heard about Supportland yet, you should check out their website for all of the fabulous details and get yourself pre-registered soon!

There is more up our *crafty*resourceful*community-minded* sleeves coming soon, but that is enough for now. I do not want to Tilt-a-Whirl your brain.

Family Wellness Lending Library


I promised that I would have exciting news to share soon, and here is the first of a few of our exciting new programs at Nurture...

Nurture has a Family Wellness Lending Library in the works set to open on June 1st, 2010! The library will have books, DVDs, magazines/zines, and other media all related to family wellness issues. Topics found in the library include:
  • infant/child health
  • infant/child development
  • helpful children's books (for example the books in this list)
  • parenting
  • adult health
  • nutrition
  • breastfeeding
  • birth
  • pregnancy
  • fertility
  • emotional wellness
  • family recreation
We already have quite a collection started, and are excited to be able to offer this to our community very soon. The library catalog will be listed on our website when the library opens.

If you have suggestions of titles that are a must for the library, we would love your input. And if you have any extra books, etc. that you want to pass on, we welcome your contributions. Please contact Mychelle at mychelle@nurturepdx.com.
