Jigsaw Puzzles for Patrons: If you like puzzles and have a few extra minutes while you’re visiting the library, stop by the jigsaw puzzle tables and lend a hand. One table is located by the computers near the center of the library for more advanced puzzles and there is a table for younger patrons in the Young Adult area. Once a puzzle is finished, another will be brought out for assembly. We also have a puzzle swap at the library. Bring in a puzzle and swap it with another puzzle - this is on an honor basis. Ask at the circulation desk for puzzle location and details.

Board Games for Patrons: If you like board games come to the library. We have a Board Game Swap. Bring in a game and swap it with another game - this is on an honor basis. Take home and play the board game, bring it back, get another game - it is that easy.  Ask at the circulation desk for game location and details.

FYI

Book Sale Donation Procedure:  Due to the overwhelming response and limited storage space for this purpose, we will accept only two boxes of books per patron. This will help us make the best use of our limited space. All items must be in good condition. Please dispose of dusty or musty older books rather than bring them to the library. Also note that we do not accept Reader’s Digest Condensed books, encyclopedia sets, old textbooks, or bibles. We wish to express continued thanks to our book sale volunteers for replenishing the shelves each week.

Safety-Wise in the Library: All children under the age of 12 years must be under the watchful eye of an adult at all times.

Library Outreach: Are you or a loved one an avid reader and unable to access the library? Our Outreach program may be able to help! We can set up a pre-selected gathering of books so that a family member or caregiver can pick them up. Call Lori at 944-6452 for information and to set this up.
