Friends of the Library

The next Friends meeting is at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2, in the library meeting room. Everyone is invited to join them. Stop by the adult circulation desk to pick up a brochure about the Friends. Membership dues are very reasonable and the organization supports the library and its programs.

Winter Preschool Story Time

Winter story time starts this week. Join staff on Wednesday, Feb. 3, for our first week as we talk about keeping warm outside. Preschool story time is for ages 3-6 and will be at either 10:15 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays, or 7 p.m. Thursdays. Staff will read “A Hat For Minerva Louise” by Janet Morgan Stoeke, “Froggy Gets Dressed” by Jonathan London; and “The Mitten” by Jan Brett. After listening to stories, get ready to make your very own glitter snow play dough. After we make snow, we will enjoy some hot chocolate and powdered sugar snowball donuts. If you have not registered your child yet, come in or call the library.
