 Local Artists… Start Getting Ready

We’re making plans for the Annual Spring Art Show. Local artists are invited to display their works, so start getting your paintings, photographs, sculptures, drawings, prints, and other work ready for display. We welcome previous and new participants. Registration forms will be available soon.

Cruise down the Rhine River (Travelogue)

Tired of winter? The pictures and narrative of this trip start in July with the sites of sunny Amsterdam. After that, we will leisurely cruise down the Rhine. There’s a stop to visit the working windmills in Kinderdijk, quaint houses and shops in Koblenz, touring the ancient Marksburg Castle, Heidelberg’s unique architecture. Have a guide tell about the wonders of the spectacular cathedrals in Cologne and Strasbourg, France, while enjoying the delightful river scenery all the way to Basel, Switzerland. Our travelogue will take place at the library on Tuesday, February 24th from 1 – 2 p.m. There will be a question and answer session after the travelogue while we enjoy cookies and punch.                

Cuddle Time

Children from birth to two years of age can enjoy learning the rhythm and cadence of storybook language. Every child needs to be accompanied by an (adult) lap to cuddle on. This activity takes place at the library every Tuesday.

Wise Walk

We walk, rain or shine on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Walk at your own pace, but join us this Saturday at our starting point, 616 Miller Ave. Bottled water and healthy snacks provided. Why not bring a friend?

Stories for Tots

On Wednesday mornings, toddlers ages 2 and up are invited to a storytime plus a fun and educational group activity. Bring your child at 10 a.m. for important and fun experiences with book learning. Don’t forget to bring your library card to select books to take home to enjoy.

Kids after School

Older children are invited to the library every other Monday from 3:30 – 4 p.m. for adult-led reading activities along with the kids from Sisters’ Place. Inquire at the main desk for details.

Book Clubs for Adults

Our library hosts two book clubs, one on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 1 p.m. and the other on every third Monday at 9 a.m. Anyone interested in joining may request a copy of the month’s book at the main desk or just drop in at book club time. Join us for a stimulating book chat along with coffee and snacks.

Game Day

Every third Saturday the library schedules a children’s game day. Many board games are provided, and all school-aged students are welcome to participate. Noon – 2 p.m.

Literary Feast

We’re collecting recipes for a library cookbook. Please contribute your best recipes for any kind of food. Bring or mail them to the library. Include your first and last names as you would want them printed in the cookbook. Come on, let’s have a feast!
