Upcoming Events

Sue DeMarinis was born in Brooklyn, New York to first generation Italian-American parents. Her family told stories, louder than necessary, using their words and their hands (not as sign language, mostly for emphasis).

This month’s Storytime is all about Planting a Seed! We’ll share stories about growth, kindness, and caring for our world.

A series of fun activities for elementary school-aged children.

Did you miss Giggles and Wiggles on Wednesday? Well, get ready for the weekend edition! Weekend Wiggles!

Young children will learn important safety skills through fun, hands-on activities. Topics include fire safety, earthquake awareness, and personal safety. Kids will participate in a practice fire drill and learn “stop, drop, and roll.”

This interactive session helps children build confidence and awareness in emergency situations. Topics include fire safety, helping younger siblings, caring for pets, and basic preparedness skills. Activities are hands-on and age-appropriate.

The Library is bringing back our Chess Club!

Participants will take a deeper dive into emergency preparedness through hands-on activities and guided discussion.

Adventure Awaits! (Ages 6–11)

Every Monday morning at 10:30, join a librarian and a special guest buddy for a storytime. The buddy might be a puppet, a community helper, or a visiting critter. It's a mystery, and it's always special!

This storytime is held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM in the Children's Wing. Join us for stories, songs, bonding, playtime, early literacy practice, and lots of fun!

What books inspire you? 

Looking for meaningful, uplifting reads and thoughtful conversation? Inspired Reads is a welcoming book club for those who enjoy stories that encourage, challenge, and inspire.

Fun and games for toddlers and preschool age children! Every Wednesday morning in the library meeting room at 10:30 am until 11:00 am. Adults must accompany their child and can join in the fun! Games, crafts, music, and Fun!

Welcome to the Library of Rock! Where kids ages 8 to 12 will learn how to play different instruments in a rock band! Registration is required, as each class builds on the last.

Join us every month on the third Wednesday for a family-friendly movie matinee! Our movies will usually be a new release, with a beloved old classic popping up now and then during slow times of the year.
