Welcome to the new Youth Services page – one spot for news, pictures, events, and more from Miss Lesa.
Coming in JANUARY 2025.
DECEMBER events coming!
In December, we will have several fun events. It’s holiday time, so it’s holiday events!
Storytimes will be on the 6th, 11th and 18th. There will be no storytime on December 4th due to a staff get together for the holidays.
The 6th is the First Friday Storytime at 10:30 am. Following this storytime will be a parent cafe where parents and I can chat about programs. Let me know what you would like to see offered here at the library. Share your thoughts and ideas. Refreshments will be provided.
On the 21st is our monthly Stay & Play – LET’S PLAY! day at 1pm in the meeting room. This is geared toward children, birth to age 5 and their grownups.
At 2pm on the 21st, we are having a KIDS IN THE KITCHEN event. Let’s make cookies! Sign up is required for this event by December, 14th.
On the 23rd, we will have a movie in the afternoon since it’s a no school day. We hope you can come and enjoy the events.

SENIORS: PASSWORD PROBLEMS? SPAM? Stymied by your mobile phone? Join us Fri., Dec. 27 at 2:00 for Old-Timers Talking, the monthly chat group for seniors. Darrin Dougherty, tech consultant for SEK Library Systems, will be here with tech tips and problem-solving for people over 55.
He will be introducing TechWise, a new public awareness campaign aimed at improving digital literacy of Southeast Kansas seniors. The campaign includes print, online and video content designed for seniors who have varying levels of comfort and understanding about the vast array of technologies that now drive day-to-day-life. Easy-to-use and share content is designed to assist families in becoming more familiar with and safe in a system that didn't exist when they were born or even when some were in the workforce.
TechWise is a collaborative project of the Southeast Kansas Education Service Center--Greenbush, SEK Area Agency on Aging, Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas, and the Southeast Kansas Library System.
