Welcome to the new Youth Services page – one spot for news, pictures, events, and more from Miss Lesa.
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.

What time is craft? I'm interested
OUR PAPERBACK COLLECTION HAS MOVED. If you're looking for those pocket-sized editions of Terry Brooks, Robyn Carr or Johanna Lindsey, you'll find them on the west wall opposite the large-print Westerns. The move doubles the space for our popular--and growing--collection of board games for all ages, explains Melissa Smoot, patron services; Jen Tarter, far right, has a look.

WHEN THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL, no need to get out of your car. Remember, we have curb service. Just pull up to the book drop in the alley and call us. We'll bring your requested items to you.
