Events & Programming

We are excited to roll out our first Winter Reading Program! We are also happy to be growing our reading programs in several ways. We are opening up our reading programs to adults for the first time. We are looking forward to bringing together readers of all ages to participate in reading challenges, help reach our reading goals, and carry out fun activities! Winter Reading isn't just about reading; our challenges will also include various activities such as crafts, utilizing our Library of Things, watching fun movies and using our online resources. Our goal with Winter Reading to help our community have some fun this winter, feel engaged, and maybe find some new collections in the library! 

Winter Reading will begin January 4 and run through February 28. Raffle drawings will occur on March 1.
