We’re excited to welcome Miss Seanna back to Storytime!

Join us Thursdays at 10:30 AM for fun, hands-on experiences, including sensory play, arts and crafts, and creative activities that encourage children to explore, imagine, and learn!

Registration is required so we can have enough supplies for everyone. Registration closes Wednesday at noon each week. Please call us at 574-848-7458 to register or stop by the library.

Please keep in mind that some activities can get messy! We recommend comfortable clothing that is suitable for arts, crafts, and sensory play.

FREE TABLE!

We have a table that needs a new home. It would make a great craft or project table. It does have some resin spots on the top, so it’s definitely not perfect, but it’s still a sturdy table.

It’s sitting at the library and is FREE to whoever wants it. Please bring help to move it because it is heavy!

First come, first served.
