For all ages:
Games @ the Library
Adults, kids and families are invited to drop in and play a game together. We’ll have board games, card games, trivia games and more. Or, if you have a favorite at home you can bring it in. Bring your coffee, pop, water, hot chocolate … and we’ll provide some snacks! Kids under 11 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Thursday, December 26 from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m.
Little Women Book Discussion
With a new movie coming out, now is the time to read — or re-read — this classic. Will you love it? Or not? Join us for an intergenerational conversation to see how this story of the March family holds up. Place a hold or stop by to pick up a copy of the book. For adults, teens and tweens. Saturday, December 28 from 2:00 until 3:00 p.m.
For kids:
Kids’ Book Club
Like to read? Like to talk? Like to eat snacks? The Kids’ Book Club is for you!

Just drop in during library hours between December 21 and January 4 and let your creativity flow. (We’re open 9:00 – 3:00 on December 24 and December 31.)

Ring out the old year, ring in the new! Dress in your most glamorous outfit and come celebrate with a countdown to noon. Create your own beautiful, crazy, surprising, marvelous or amazing hat.
