🎉 Come Explore the Children’s Library! 🎉
Take a video tour and step inside the Children’s Library, where the fun begins the moment you enter from the foyer! 🌈
You’ll be welcomed into our Family Play Space—a bright, family-friendly area designed for learning, laughter, and connection. We’ve transformed this space into a community hub for literacy, early childhood development, parent education, and family engagement. It’s a place to explore, play, and grow together, with helpful community resources always close at hand.
We’d love for you to stop by, relax, and play awhile with your littles—they’re always welcome here! 💛
✨ Don’t forget! I host a Stay & Play event on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 1:00 PM in the meeting room.
No sign-up needed—just come on in and jump into some fun, hands-on playtime with your little ones.
I can’t wait to see you at the library!

SETTLE INTO A READING NOOK in periodicals with a stack of books and magazines, choose what to take home, or just enjoy browsing. Don't have time to finish an article? You can check out magazines for two weeks.

Magnificent herds of bison, elk, mule deer, and antelope roamed the vast open plains populated by Cherokee, Osage, Pawnee, and many other tribes when Kansas became a part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Kansas celebrates annually on January 29 to commemorate the anniversary of the state's 1861 admission to the Union. It was first celebrated in 1877 by schoolchildren in Paola.

SNOWING, GOING...BUT NOT GONE. Remains of the 6-inch snowfall was pretty slushy in the late afternoon as boys jostled about in their attempt to build a snowman. Flying snowballs resulted.
