Library Events

Want to learn to embroider? or meet others who love thread artistry? Our Fall Open Studios will focus on embroidery. You can use one of our circulating Doodle Stitch embroidery kits, or bring that project you never quite finished...

The library is back to regular Story Time hours! Every Tuesday and Thursday (and one Saturday a month) at 10:30am we'll get together for an hour on the back deck.  When the weather is not so great, we'll head inside (but we'll have to wear masks!).  Storytime is open to all ages 0-6 years old, although ages 2-4 will get the most out of it all.  
Listen to stories, sing some songs, get some wiggles out, and take home a fun craft to do later! Bringing a blanket and stuffie friend to sit with is highly encouraged, we do have plenty of seating a the library though!  We just ask that our families spread out for social distancing.

Ms. Heather's Favorite books! 

Here we go! 8 Weeks of Code coming your way! All kids ages 9-15 are welcome to jump into this Fall's Coding Club here at the library.  This session we will be working with JavaScript, which is different from the past when we've worked strictly with Google/MIT Scratch.  Beginners are welcome, but this course is able to become more challenging for more experienced coders. If your child has a device they can bring, it is usually preferable, but we do have laptops here at the library if you don't.  A laptop, Chromebook, or Tablet are the required types of devices, basically it needs to have Chrome browser on it.

The Club will meet Tuesdays at 4pm Starting in October. Meetings will run for an hour and be held out on our back deck.  If inclimate weather happens, we will move indoors. 

p.s. For those of you wondering, Girls Who Code will resume in the Spring

Please join us at any time! We are currently meeting in person, on the deck weather permitting. Copies of the book are always available at the library, and are sometimes available online through Hoopla.

Fall Themed story time! 

A monthly get together with fellow readers to discuss...anything! The second Thursday of each month, we'll get together with snacks and talk books.  What are you reading right now? Want suggestions for a new genre? Curious about upcoming books? Or do you just need some social time?! 

The best part....Ms. Heather will be hosting a kids version in the other room! Drop your kids off for their own moment of books, snacks, crafts, bubbles, etc...enjoy!

Registration is encouraged, but not necessary.This group will meet the second Thursday of each month at 4pm for about an hour.  If the weather is nice, we may meet outside on the back deck, or we may be in our new patron lounge area!

On International Archaeology Day, excavate your way through a layer cake as you find and record artifacts. Great for families with younger elementary children. 

***This is the registration for the 11am session. Please register for this program so we can be sure to have a Dig Cake for your family! There are five family spots for each hour. We will hopefully be out on our back deck, as long as the weather permits!
