Join us for Gardening Adventures at Family Night at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 18. Our event will feature gardening crafts, games and a gardening activity.

Wanted: Readers

The library’s spring theme is “Wanted: Readers!” Create your own Wanted poster to hang in the library when you register for our spring reading programs. ‘Springo,’ which is our spring bingo game, runs through March 31. ‘Read 100 Stories’ is a program that encourages participants to read from story collections.

William Allen White Ice Cream Party

There is still time to read this year’s nominees for the William Allen White Children’s Book Award and register for our ice cream party. This party is for youth in third through eighth grades who have read at least three of the nominees for the current year. Participants will be able to vote for their favorite book from the list and will learn about the 2009 nominees. Please register in the library by March 31. The ice cream party will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1.

Patrons Performing Poetry Program

Please plan to participate in our ‘Patrons Performing Poetry Program’ to be presented at Family Night at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15, in celebration of National Poetry Month.

Patrons interested in participating may select a poem from the library’s collection and register in the library no later than Friday, April 11. If you do not wish to perform, please plan to be a part of our audience and enjoy the poetry!

The library hosts a weekly story-time at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays. Story-time includes theme-based stories along with a game, craft or other activity. Story-time is geared for preschoolers, but all ages are welcome to participate.
