Press Release

NORTH WEBSTER — North Webster Community Public Library invites everyone to channel their inner poet during National Poetry Month.

Those interested can stop by the library during regular hours and add a line to the community poem, posted on the large pillar near the front desk. In keeping with a writing prompt posted next to the poem, participants can choose a colorful strip of paper and compose their unique line, then tape it beneath the previous line.

Once the poem is complete, a new poetry or story prompt will become available.

Also coming up:

New to NWCPL is Chair Dance for Fitness. Set for 5-5:30 p.m. Thursdays, this activity will resemble the Let’s Move Dance Class, but will be done while seated.

NWCPL invites adults to get their groove on with Let’s Move Dance Class from 6-7 p.m. Thursdays. This energetic class offers a chance to have fun while getting fit.

Grownups can have fun exploring books, stories and songs with little ones during Baby and Toddler Time, beginning at 11 a.m. Tuesdays, April 18 and 26.

Relax and enjoy a family movie at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 28. In this film, a young girl, suddenly orphaned, discovers a garden of secrets.

All are invited to browse the Friends of the Library book sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, April 28, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, April 29.

NWCPL is also “switching” things up with a brand-new Nintendo Switch. Teens have numerous games to choose from, including but not limited to Mario Kart; classic Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games; and a list of newer games teens will recognize. The library currently has enough controllers for up to four players. Those wishing to play the Switch can stop by and ask for Hanna.

Starting in May, North Webster Community Public Library will begin hosting a weekly Teen Café. Teens can drop in any time between 3:30-5:30 p.m. Mondays to try out the Nintendo Switch or just kick back and enjoy some social time. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

For more information about any of the above events, call the library at (574) 834-7122. The library is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
