We are having so much fun with our Early Out programs! This past week, participants turned the Riverboat Room into a giant box fort city at our Box Fort Day. The kids had fun constructing, decorating, and playing in their forts. If you have a 3rd or 4th grader who is looking for something fun to do on early out days, be sure to sign them up for our program. To learn more, checkout our Facebook, website, or give the library a call.

We enjoyed a busy week last week at the library. Our Early Out Movie Day, Hotel Transylvania, was a fun. Our Eat Around the World: France night was filled with delicious flavors, including: beef bourguignon, macarons, cream puffs and more all made from scratch. Delicious!

We are loving all the fun things happening at the library! Ethiopian food at our most recent Cook Around the World was absolutely delicious. Our Cupcake Wars event was a blast too. So many fun and creative designs, of course not everything went as planned but everyone sure “nailed it.”
We were happy to kick off the holiday season with the community at Light the Night in Wellman. Santa enjoyed meeting all of the kids and giving them their book. Story time was a great success as well. We hope everyone had a great time enjoying all the wonderful events that Light the Night had to offer!
