Visit Iron Mountain Park to read our newest StoryWalk® installation, Song in the City. Written by Daniel Bernstrom and illustrated by Jenin Mohammed, it tells the story of a young blind girl filled to overflowing with the sounds of her beloved city. Poetically rhythmic and lightly humorous, the tale bridges the gap between generations of music and family while centering love, understanding and joy. Celebrate Disability Pride Month at one of Lake Oswego’s most accessible natural areas, Iron Mountain Park.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier Vermont. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
Iron Mountain Park is located at 2401 Iron Mountain Rd., Lake Oswego. For more information, contact Youth Services at 503-697-6580.

Stairwell Gallery: Beverly & Arthur Foster: Life and Death in a Potsdam Garden
2026-07-05 10:00 - 19:00, 2026-07-06 10:00 - 19:00, 2026-07-07 10:00 - 19:00, 2026-07-08 10:00 - 19:00, 2026-07-09 10:00 - 19:00 | Lake Oswego Library, 706 4th St., Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Beverly Chesnut Foster’s compelling photographic artistry brings a hidden chapter of Potsdam, Germany, to light. From 1933 to 1945, horticulturists Karl and Eva Foerster cultivated a garden of extraordinary beauty that quietly became a sanctuary during the rise of Nazi terror. Within 3 its peaceful paths and borders, several Jewish women found a way to hide in plain sight as deportations and death camps threatened their lives. Beverly Chesnut Foster explores the tension between danger and refuge with her lens, capturing the interplay of fear, resilience, and quiet defiance embedded in the garden’s past. The accompanying narrative, written by her husband Arthur Foster, a former colleague of the Foersters and a former Berlin professor, provides historical context that deepens the emotional resonance of Beverly’s work. The exhibition will be on view throughout July during regular library hours. Lake Oswego Public Library is located at 706 Fourth Street, Lake Oswego.
