Calling all vehicles. If your job uses a company car to haul, load, transport, etc. we would love to have you join us for our Touch-a-Truck event on Wednesday, June 10 from 11 am - noon.
This is an event kids love to attend. Seeing cars and exploring the different modes of wheels. We plan to have diggers, semis, firetrucks, police cars, a school bus and more.
If the weather is uncooperative, we will reschedule but we feel is will be a gorgeous day.

This Friday, February 6th, our toddler story time will be a valentine exchange and story time. Plan for 30-40 kids. We encourage no chocolate or peanuts, due to food allergies. However, lollipops are awesome. Please, if you can, bring a bag or box for your child to put their valentines in.
We aren't having a valentine's party but just exchanging little cards and treats/etc.

Friday, February 13th there is no toddler story time due to meetings for our specialist to attend.

All Henry County libraries will be closed on Monday, February 16th in honor of President's day.
