*As always, parents or guardians are encouraged to stay and participate in our story time programs. Siblings, younger or older, are also welcome to attend if they do not distract from the program.
*To ensure that we provide enough craft supplies, please register your child. But don't worry, this doesn't commit you to attend every week and drop-ins are always welcome!
We have a family group on Facebook! We currently share family activities, library program information, and other fun local children's activities.

Read to Ava or Millee!
Our next Read to a Dog night will be Monday, March 31 from 5-7 pm.
Elementary age children can be registered for a 15 minute time slot to read a book of their choosing to either certified therapy dog Ava or Millee! This month we will have two different booking pages - one for Ava and one for Millee. Please reserve only one time slot per child (siblings can share one time or sign up for separate times if you desire). If you cannot make your reserved time, please cancel or let me know so we can offer it to another child. To register, please see the appointment booking links below. If you have trouble - please reach out to Jocinda ([email protected]).
March 31 | 5:00 - 7:00 pm
