All children from preschool to 17 years old may request a spring activity packet at either circulation desk. The packets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to ask for yours when you are checking out.

Shamrock Scavenger Hunt

March 1-31, the library is going on a Shamrock Scavenger Hunt. Certain material will be designated “shamrock” and if you are the lucky person checking that item out, you win a prize. Anyone who checks out materials during March can win. Do you feel lucky? Library users are all lucky, so come in and check out lots of good books and DVDs.

The fun-filled spring activity packet is available at both circulation desks beginning April 3. Anyone under 11 years old would most enjoy the crafts. Photo provided by the library
