Come and enjoy a Morning Movie Matinee at the Ferris Public Library! We will be showing a PG movie about a Yeti whose goes on the hunt for a mysterious and elusive creature – a human! This 96-minute animated adventure film will keep the kids entertained with comedy and a few catchy songs. Showtime will be 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 3. Popcorn and drinks will be served. Children ages 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

After-School Game Time will resume on Tuesday, Jan. 15, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. Children ages 7 to 17 can play games on the PS4 on the large screen in the meeting room.

Story Time will be held each Wednesday at 11 a.m. Children and their caregivers can enjoy stories and an activity. Each child may choose a toy from the Treasure chest before leaving. 

The Ferris Public Library will be closed to the public on Jan. 8 – 12, for our annual inventory. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is extremely important that we have an accurate counting of our collection. Due dates for all items checked out have been adjusted to reflect this closing.
