The cataloging of our collection is a work in progress. We make frequent additions and updates.

Norwegian Conversation Group: Come listen to and practice Norsk! All levels and ages are encouraged to drop by to listen and speak Norwegian to their level of comfort. We meet on the second Monday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Participants range from absolute beginners to native speakers with lots of people in between. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking, it is OK to simply listen. For more information contact Erik Brakstad at erik@hevanet.com 503-449-0818. Old Norse Conversation Group: Have you ever wondered about the origin of the modern Norwegian language? It derives from Old Norse, and modern Icelandic is almost the same as Old Norse. At the Old Norse Conversation Group, we will practice speaking Icelandic in an informal setting and will talk about culture, grammar and vocabulary, some history, and current events. We meet every 4th Thursday from 6:30-8:30 pm, at Norse Hall in the library. For more information please contact Nord Njordur F. Winnan at njordurfw@aol.com.
