Have you finished your 100 days yet?

If you've been participating in our Legendary Readers program, you have one month left to pick up your prizes.

Flashlights are great tools for finding both legendary cryptids AND doing a bit of after bedtime reading.

Stop by with your little ones and find all eight of our yellow friends hiding around our youth area. Find them all and get a sticker!

We don't want to give away where they might be... but here's a hint for some of what you might be looking for: 🍕🌼🚜🐱🌞🐶🐝

What do librarians do when our computers aren't working? Everything we don't have time for when they are!

While we were closed, we spent our time making sure the library would be in as perfect shape as possible for when you all came back. We were dusting shelves, making sure our collection is in perfect alphabetical order, cleaning out that cupboard we haven't looked at in years, and doing anything else we could think of!

We may not be operating at 100% quite yet, but we're so happy to be welcoming you all through our doors again!

New month? New staff spotlight!

This month Kait is recommending some personal favorites from all over the genera and age range maps. Stop by soon because new favorites are always popping up (even since we took this photo!).

Two new rotating packet collections have come to town!

Want a book to keep you on the edge of your seat? Stop by the East Grand Rapids Branch to pick up one of our thrillers. If you're hoping for a chiller read or some nonfiction, try one of our self help books.

These collections will be hanging around until the last week of May, so come on over and read one soon!
