Thank you so much to Ted’s Piggly Wiggly and our community for the April round-up--we already have $823.01 towards our goals for improving the children's area!!!

We are so grateful to all the local artists who have been decorating chairs to be part of the Chair Affair Auction 2021! Here are a few important upcoming dates for the Chair Affair: 

Friday, May 14 - deadline to return chairs to the library

Friday, May 21 - The Big Reveal Party at the library @ 6:00 pm - A chance for the community to mingle with the artists, get a sneak peek at the finished chairs, and place the first bids on their favorite chairs! Bidding officially begins!

We have a fun new Story Walk in the library courtyard! Take the kids for a little literary fun in our courtyard and enjoy “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” by Michael Rosen. This delightful tale based on a song will have the kids swishing through tall grass, splashing through a lake, squelching through the mud, stumbling through a forest and more as they use their imaginations to go on a bear hunt.

If you have old VHS family videos that you would like converted to either DVD or to a flashdrive, the library will have a conversion kit available from Tuesday May 11 – Thurs May 20th! Patrons must sign up for this program as the converter records in real time (a 30 minute video takes 30 minutes to convert). The library has some blank dvds and flashdrives that can be purchased. DVDs cost .25 cents. Flashdrives cost $2.50. There is a 2 hour maximum record time so longer videos will have to be broken up into multiple DVDs or flashdrives.

Thank you so much to Miss Brittany for holding "Adventures through the Alphabet" Story Time this year! We are taking a summer break, but her Story Time videos will be available to watch on our Facebook page in the "videos" section.
