In the afternoon, Mary Kenyon will talk about getting published. Come to one or both sessions. Bring a bag lunch and plan to stay all day.  Beverages and snacks provided.

Miniature Golf @ Your Library 

Come to the library for this special event for all ages on Sunday, February 24!

For one night only, from 5:00-8:00 pm, we’ll turn the library into a mini-golf course!  Come in and tee off between the stacks and navigate our book obstacles. All ages welcome but those under age 6 must be accompanied by an adult. 

If you’re interested in designing one of the holes, come to the library between 2:00-4:00 pm. Participants may work individually or in teams to create one hole. Bring your own supplies or use what the library has available. All ages welcome but those under 6 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Strings Club

Calling all string instrument musicians! Join this new group that will get together monthly to play music. The first meeting will be Monday, February 25 at 6:00 pm. Teen and adult musicians of all skill levels are welcome! However, this is a jam session, not a class, so participants should know basic chords. Facilitated by Sue Engelbrecht and Gary Bramel. Registration requested but walk-ins welcome as space allows. 

Internet Safety Class

As part of national Safer Internet Day, the library will be hosting a class on basic methods you can use to protect yourself on the internet. This session, on Tuesday, February 26 at 6:30 pm, will cover information on basic programs, what to avoid, and potential fixes for problems. Refreshments provided.

Let’s Talk 

Do you want to talk about the books you are reading but not have to read a specific book? Then this book club is for you!  Join us Thursday, February 28 at 6:30 pm (and the 4th Thursday of each month) and come hear about what others are reading or share your favorites. If time and interest allows, library staff will “book talk” a few of their favorites. Refreshments provided.
