What's New at the Library

We have some very exciting and fun fall activities going on at the Library in October!

When you visit the Library, be sure to pick up a Food Lovers Recipe booklet, where you will find Quick and Easy Meal Recipes.

New to the Library is "Page Turners Reading Club." Middle and high school aged students are invited to join in by reading any book of their choice. A special punch for each book read will be punched on the student's bookmark.

When bookmarks are completed, patrons will their name and phone number on the back of the bookmark and turn it in. Then, each student will receive a new bookmark and a candy bar of their choice.

The completed bookmarks will ensure the student's name goes into a drawing for a Kindle Fire and to be included on the list of participants for a Pizza Party on Tuesday, February 1st.

It's a Mystery Book Hunt!

Choose your book and bring them to the checkout desk, where our computer will reveal if any of your selections is a MYSTERY BOOK!

With each found MYSTERY BOOK visit, you will get a fall treat and the chance to enter a drawing for a free book bag and book, along with the title of "BOOK SLEUTH!"
