Saturday, February 7 is Take Your Child to the Library Day, celebrated by libraries around the country. Including us. On that day, from 10am-noon, we will have activities for families to participate in. Make a sail car. (If you want to know what that is, you'll have to come and find out.) Do a library scavenger hunt. Make a pair of speakers for your phone. (Yes, really. It's easy, we promise.) Maybe even win some Dav Pilkey books. (You must be present at noon to win.) Most importantly, get out of the house and have some fun!
This event is free and open to kids of all ages. We hope we'll see you there!

A visit to the library is an excellent way to encourage a love of books and reading. Special tours can be arranged for groups of children
upon request. Children will be shown around the library and given special instruction on the library's automated computer system.
