This is just a friendly reminder that there will be no programming this week at the library. It's the one week in the year that your favorite library staff take a break from our amazing programs. But we will still be open!! Swing by anytime during regular hours to use the library.

✨Mischief Managed!✨

We had a magical time celebrating Harry Potter's birthday at UCPL! 🪄📚

From wand making and herbology to our Horcrux Hunt, Harry Potter Trivia, games, butterbeer, and plenty of wizarding fun, the library was transformed into a place of creativity, laughter, and a little bit of magic. ⚡

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We loved celebrating the magic of reading with our community!

We are so grateful for Johnson City Symphony Orchestra!! As always, we had a huge turnout for our Instrument Petting Zoo where we learned about instruments, styles of music, and even got our hands on the instruments to create our own masterpieces.

Also, did you know that kids get in FREE at Johnson City Symphony Orchestra performances? Check out their website!
