MENTONE — Bell Memorial Public Library is currently working on having its old microfilm, pictures, documents and other Mentone history digitized. This is a work in progress, and will take some time. But the goal is to make them available in a catalog so that patrons can peruse at their own convenience on personal computers, phones or other devices.

Preschool Story Hour
Preschool story hour takes place every Friday at 10 a.m. in the library’s children’s’ room. The theme for Friday, March 8 is St. Patrick’s Day. Stories to be read are “Hooray for St. Patty’s Day” by Joan Holub and “St. Patrick’s Day” by Anne Rockwell. Children can make a stained glass shamrock for their craft.
