September is a busy and exciting month at the Ferris Public Library! We invite everyone in the community to stop by and take part in our upcoming events and celebrations.
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. Did you know your library card is one of the most valuable cards you can carry? It gives you free access to books, movies, audiobooks, e-Books, programs and so much more. If you don’t already have a library card, stop by this month and discover all that the library has to offer.
From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, we’ll be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. Visit the library to see our book displays, pick up reading recommendations, and learn more about the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans.
STORY TIME is hosted every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Children are treated to stories, fun activities, and a snack. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the treasure chest to take home.
AFTER-SCHOOL GAME TIME is held each Thursday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Children can play the PS5 on the large screen in the meeting room, and board games are also available.
