Are youfor an epic adventure? 🦖

Join us outside on Tuesday, June 16th at 10:30 AM as we welcome master storyteller Don Dougherty for his interactive program, "Can You Dig It?!" Think Indiana Jones meets Jurassic Park—we will be digging for fossils, meeting dinosaurs, and learning all about teamwork along the way!

A quick tip for parents: Please try to arrive a few minutes early! Don loves to weave the children's names directly into the story so they can be the main characters of the adventure.

Don't forget to bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on. If the weather doesn't cooperate, our wonderful neighbors across the street at Calvary Methodist Church have invited us into their Family Center (203 Mumper Ln) so we can stay dry.

We can't wait to see you there! https://www.facebook.com/events/100695569849799

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to talk to a Civil War general? 🌲📷

On Monday, June 15th at 6:00 PM, we are hosting a very special evening at the library. Local historian and photographer Ron Zanoni will be joining us to bring Major General Philip Sheridan to life!

Ron has been sharing his passion for history and stunning battlefield photography all over the country since 2015. Whether you are a lifelong history buff or just looking for a unique and educational evening out, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

We would love to see you there! No registration is required.

Calling all artists and engineers! Our library fairy garden has been so well-loved, and some of our favorite hand-made pieces are ready for a little TLC.

Next Thursday, June 11th at 10:30 AM, we are hosting a fun Fairy Garden Makeover and would love some extra hands to help us brighten up the paint and make the structures a bit stronger.

This project is perfect for ages 10 and up, and there’s no need to register—just come on by! Since we want the pieces to stay beautiful in the elements all summer, we’ll be using non-washable paint, so please make sure your builders dress for a mess.

We’re planning to meet outside on the lawn if the weather is nice, but if it rains, we will move the fun right inside to the children's room.

Good morning, everyone! ☀️ Miss Sue is getting her favorite books and songs ready for preschool Story Time next Tuesday, June 9th at 10:30 AM, and we would love for you to join us!

We’ll be sharing stories, singing songs, and making a fun craft together. Since the weather is so nice, we're planning to meet outside on the lawn. Just bring along a blanket or a lawn chair for you and your little ones, and you’ll be all set. (And don't worry—if it rains, we’ll just move the fun inside to the children's room!)

This program is geared toward ages 3 to 5, but all are welcome and there is no need to register. It’s also a wonderful way to add some progress to your family's Summer Quest logs!

We hope to see you there!

We need a treasurer! Our friendly library dragon is excellent at collecting spare change, but we are looking for a neighbor who can help us look after the bigger picture!

We are currently searching for a volunteer Treasurer to join our Board of Directors. It’s a wonderful way to use your background in bookkeeping, accounting, or business to give back to our community. Our small, dedicated board meets monthly to help keep everything running smoothly for all of our neighbors.

If you love numbers and have a heart for our library, we would love to chat! Please send us a private message right here on our page, or give us a call at the library and ask for Keith.
