I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Where did the time go? We’re still moving in. Please join us on Friday, Feb. 14, as we celebrate our one-year anniversary in our beautiful building. We will have cake and punch (from a vintage recipe we found while moving out) and a drawing for a gift basket with library swag and a Joyful Cup gift card. The Joyful Cup will have drink specials along with their winter menu. This is a great time to stop in if you haven’t visited us yet.
Our children’s programming has had some major changes. We have added a brand new program, Toddler Time, on Thursdays at 10 a.m., have moved Mother Goose to Fridays at 10 a.m. and now offer two sessions of Story Time, Thursdays and Saturdays at 2 p.m. Our Youth Librarian, Julie, is having a wonderful time with all of these programs. Check our website for other youth programs available for tweens and teens.
Later this month our Digital Services Specialist, Brycen, will be leaving us for an amazing career opportunity. We are currently hiring for the position. In the interim, the rest of our staff will do what we can to help with technology questions and problems. Just stop at the front desk or give us a call.
We are gearing up for a busy couple of months of adult programs. Be sure to visit our website, watch our social media and subscribe to our newsletter for all the details. Highlights this month include a program on fraud on Feb. 12 at 3 p.m. with Brycen and Police Chief George Simpson, as well as a book signing, and author talk with Chief Simpson on Feb. 28 at 5:30 p.m.
This month is all about books for “I Love to Read Month.” The library’s annual Adopt-a-Book program is up and running with a great selection of children’s books. For a $15 donation you can choose a book and we will place a personalized message in it for you. We also have the ever popular “Blind Date with a Book” option back. Never to be missed is our Friends of the Library book sale on Feb. 21 and 22. You never know what treasures you’ll find. If you’d like to donate books for the sale, please bring them on Feb. 20.
The library and the Joyful Cup will be closed on Monday, Feb. 17 for President’s Day. Our regular hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Joyful Cup Coffee and Tea is open Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Library Board meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 5:30 p.m. The last day to file for the trustee election is Feb. 10, at 5 p.m. at the County Election Office.
