Happy New Year everyone, welcome to 2026. January brings with it the restart of our Children’s Programming schedule with the return of favorites like Storytime for babies and preschoolers and Book Buds Bookclubs, as well as new additions to the calendar like Teen Advisory Board and Lego Club (announcement upcoming). Details below:
Calling all Teens and Pre-Teens who want to get involved in how the library operates. Do you have input on what books you’d like to see on the shelves, or what teen programming you want to attend? Join us for our inaugural Teen Advisory Board meeting to discuss our visions and where we hope to take the TAB. Teens ages 12-18 years are invited to join us from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm Tuesday, January 13 at the Library. Registration is required.
Storytime begins its seven-week winter cycle at 10:30 am Tuesday, January 20 and 10:30 am Wednesday, January 21. The Tuesday sessions are designed for babies 6-24 months and their caregivers, and Wednesday sessions are for families with kids 2-5 years. Come for stories, songs, crafts, and new friends. Registration is required weekly and space is limited.
Book Buds Bookclubs for kids are back. This once per month event is designed for kids and teens in three separate age groups and offers a casual meeting space to talk about what they are currently reading, as well as receiving title and series recommendations. Participants are also encouraged make book recommendations to their peers, as well as suggestions to the Library of books to purchase for the collection. Meetings will be held at 4:30 pm on Wednesday, January 21 for 8-12-year-olds, 4:30 pm Wednesday, January 28 for 12-14-year-olds, and 3:00 pm Thursday, January 29 for 14-18-year-olds.
