Pages & Play Club
The Oelwein Public Library offers a weekly Pages & Play Club for 3-5 year olds with Miss Katie on each Wednesday at 10:00 am. This event meets in the library's meeting room.  Contact Katie by email at kschuelke@oelwein.lib.ia.us or by calling the library at 319-283-1515 with any questions.
We will read a story and share fun activities.

 

Pop Up Programs
The times, they are a changin'...or at least our programs are. Starting in July, instead of regularly-scheduled programs, we will be switching to "Pop-up Programs." These will be programs covering a range of topics and ages on different times and days. We will also be continuing our weekly storytime through the month of July. Popping up in the month of July: Legos and book art. Keep an eye out for more information on these upcoming programs!

Summer Reading Program is offered every year in June.

Book Talk
Join Book Talk. Contact Deann at dfox@oelwein.lib.ia.us or by calling the library at 319-283-1515 with questions. This group meets on the last Monday of each month at 10:00 am. For more information visit the Book Club page.
