Library Programs
The library offers an array of programs for all age groups, including story times and summer programs and activities and a monthly book club. For information on the book club, please visit the Monthly Book Club page or to learn more about the summer reading programs, please visit that page!

 

Computer Classes for Beginners!
Computer classes are offered once each year here at the library.  Each session lasts approximately four months and class time is an hour once a week.  You'll learn the basics--from purchasing a computer, computer usage to using the Internet.  Since each student begins the class with a specific goal in mind, our instructor will work with the student until that goal is achieved. Classes are free, however, registration is required, so please call the library to reserve your space.

Smart Start Story Time
A special story time for babies up to 23 months

Babies will be introduced to stories, rhythm, and rhyme.  Caregivers are required to accompany babies and are encouraged to participate with their babies so they can repeat the activities at home.  Each session is scheduled to last approximately 20 minutes and includes nursery rhymes, songs, bounces, stories, and fingerplays.  Advanced registration is required.  Attendance is limited to 12 babies and their caregivers.

For more information, call the library at 865-5523 or send an email to Candace Martzall
