It's not too late to "Go Wild--Oregon Style" at the Tigard Public Library's Adult Summer Reading Program. Adults 18 and over can register for the program through Saturday, August 21, and learn how to play Library Bingo and win prizes.

More than a dozen programs are scheduled for August, including travel, history, game and music events. People are welcome to attend the programs whether or not they participate in Summer Reading, but participants may win $100 gift certificates to the Broadway Rose Theater and the Grand Prize of either an e-book reader or $250 worth of Barnes and Noble gift certificates. Adult Summer Reading ends on Saturday, August 28.

August kicks off with concert rock violinist Aaron Meyer and his cutting-edge music on Wednesday, August 4, at 7 p.m. Meyers bridges world, contemporary, progressive rock and classic sounds.

On Monday, August 15, at 7 p.m., local author R. Gregory Nokes tells the story of the 1887 massacre of Chinese gold miners in Oregon's Hells Canyon. Because of a cover-up, the crime was all but forgotten for the next 100 years, until a county clerk found hidden records in an unused safe. Nokes is the author of Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon.
