Special Veterans Day Programs

In honor of the service by our community's vets, we have some special programs and events in the month of November.

 

If you or your child would like to honor a special veteran in your life, come to Laura's Library any time through Veterans Day & create a scrapbook page with our supplies.  Then we'll display it through November 14th.

 

We would also love to meet those special people at Bring Your Veteran to Storytime on Monday, November 11th at either Westbank (10:30am during Infant Storytime) or Laura's (12:30pm during Preschool Storytime).

 

The Focus Challenged Child

We know that being a parent is such a challenge sometimes - a rewarding one, but still a challenge.  But parenting children with focus & concentration difficulties presents its own set of challenges.  If you need help & support in helping your focus challenged kiddo, bring your biggest questions to Westbank on Friday, November 15th at 10:30am.  You can get answers from a parenting expert, & you can join in a rewarding conversation with other parents.

 

Author Visit: Operation Golden Llama Launch Party

On Saturday, November 23rd at Westbank, 11:30am, join local author Sam Bond for the launch of her new book in the middle-grade Cousins in Action series: Operation Golden Llama.  

 

Thanksgiving Hours

Both branches will close at 4pm on Wednesday, November 27th.  We will be closed all day on Thursday, November 28th & Friday, November 29th.  We will re-open with normal hours on Saturday, November 30th.
