Library Lovers Month is celebrated throughout the month of February and is an opportunity to honor the vital role libraries play in communities. It’s a time to celebrate the joy of reading, learning, and discovering all that libraries offer.
We will be observing “Take Your Child to the Library Day” on Thursday, Feb. 5. Children 16 & younger can sign up for a FREE library card, regardless of address. (parent/guardian must have valid ID or driver’s license). We will have children’s activities from 3 – 5 p.m., including face painting and giveaways.
STORY TIME is hosted every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Children are treated to stories, fun activities, and a snack. This is a wonderful way to build routines, make new friends, and create special memories. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the Treasure Chest to take home.

BOOK BLURB: “Disrupt Everything and Win: Take Control of Your Future” by James Patterson, released September 2025.
Disruption is the most powerful force of change in our lifetime. Every day we are confronted with:
• Sudden pivots at our workplace and in the job market
• Rule-changing technology such as Artificial Intelligence
• Unexpected crises and a culture of chaos
• The sinking feeling that we are losing control of our lives
This book is about taking back control. It’s easy to follow and easy to turn into lifelong habits. It has been thoroughly researched and examined. Simply put, Disrupt Everything works.
One question: Are you ready to Disrupt Everything and take control of your future?
