Book Club

This month’s book for book club is “Iron House” by John  Hart. You have plenty of time to read it. Book club does not meet until May 9th. Even if you don’t finish the book come and discuss what you have read!

Book Sale

The Friends of the Library are sponsoring a book sale on Saturday, May 12th at the library from 10:00-1:00. If weather permits it will be outside the library. Also on display are the 65 new children’s non-fiction books recently purchased  with support from the Libri Foundation and the Friends of the library.

Donations

The Library is currently looking for current or classic DVDs or CDs.  If the library does not circulate the item it will be donated to the Friends of the Library for fundraising.

Lego Club

The Library would like to start an after school Lego Club. If you have any Legos to donate or would like your child to participate, please see someone at the circulation desk.

Pre-school Story & Craft

The Library presents a weekly Pre-school Story and Craft time on Wednesdays at 2:00.  This program is geared for 3, 4, and 5 year olds with their caregiver, although younger siblings are welcome to come along.  We will sing songs, read a story or two, and do a related simple craft.  This is a drop-in program; we look forward to seeing you.
