We have THREE winners!

It seems like forever, but we’re finally ready to announce the winners of last summer’s “DESIGN A BOOKMARK” contest at the library!  We collected entries all summer, and then had a local artist go through them to choose winners in each category.  We’ve got the bookmarks printed (thank you, Ferguson Graphics!) and now we’re ready to show you the winning bookmarks.

In the 8 – 10 year old category:

 

WILL CHAPMAN!

 

In the 14 – adult category:

 

KATE MARTIN!

 

 

 

And in the 11- 13 year old category:

 

Hannah Shulist! 

 

 

Congratulations to all our winners!  Their bookmarks will be given out to new members of the library for the next few years.  Stop by to see the display!

Exciting!

Something exciting just arrived at the library. Something big. Something that will take teams of people to put together (okay, not really, but at least one person will have to spend some time here with tools).

We’re looking forward to unwrapping the boxes and bringing something new to the library. It will revolutionize our lives and yours. It will make us better people. It will change the world!! (I’m exaggerating.  But it will be fun!)

Any ideas? Think you know what we’ve got in these boxes?

Get blown away!

Babytime at the library 2.0

Due to the incredible response we had this winter, we’re going to have another Babytime session!  That’s right, we’re looking for parents (or caregivers) with babies who are zero months to 12 months of age, who would like to join us for a six week session starting June 6/13.  We had plenty of names on the waiting list that we’re going to carry over into this session, so there aren’t a lot of spaces available.  If you’d like to join us, please call us right away to register because those spaces will fill up fast.  And yes, you DO have to register—-this is NOT a drop in event.

This session will take place on Thursday mornings from 9:30 – 10am, with time afterward for parents to connect with other parents. This is a great way to get your baby moving, meet new people and learn new and wonderful ways to bond with your child. If you have questions or would like to attend, please call us at 257-2702.  And if you don’t get into this session, never fear…we’ll run another one in the fall.
