We are celebrating Star Wars today with fun crafts in the library and a special showing of the first Star Wars movie (including a small snack). Everyone is invited – A New Hope is rated PG.
Celebrate screen free week with the library! Kids and teens should stop by anytime this week to pick up a screen-free kit filled with activities. We have cool things for adults too. We don’t have to cut out every screen for a whole week, but the library has great things to keep you busy without them.
