Greetings!
April is always an exciting month. Not only is it spring, but it's a month to celebrate young children, libraries, the Earth, and poetry. Come, read, imagine, and explore at the Library!  |

| Library Visits
|
Our place or yours.
As you plan for Week of the Young Child, schedule a field trip to the Library for your class. Librarians will treat your students to an interactive storytime and tour. The children will also enjoy playtime in our preschool area. Alternatively, a librarian can bring a half-hour storytime to your school. Spring is a great time for Library visits-- the weather is nice, and the schedule is wide open!

| National Library Week
|
The Library isn't just for kids!
Celebrate National Library Week all month long at one or all of these valuable workshops in April. All programs are free and require advance registration.
Visit our online calendar to view, save, share, and register for these and other programs at your Library... all year long!

Green Library Bags
|
It's in the bag!
 Youth Services will be filling a handful of environmentally friendly tote bags with staff favorites between April 13 and 25. These bags typically cost $1.00, but they're FREE when you check out all of the materials inside the bag during this time.
PLEASE NOTE: Supplies are limited and may not be available throughout the entire period. Only one free bag will be given per household or family. |
