An afternoon to remember, together

Published on by notthatrebecca

Have you made a plan to watch the total solar eclipse on April 8th? We’ve planned a watch party from 2pm to 4pm and we hope you’ll be there!

On April 8th, join us on a big grassy lawn for our Eclipse Watch Party. We’ll have music, free eclipse glasses, and for when it gets really dark – glow sticks. It’s all happening at the site of the former RHS building, at the corner of Clinton and East Main Streets (for all you ice cream lovers, that’s right next to Dairy Queen). The city has graciously let us use the lot for the afternoon. They will be shutting down motor access to Clinton Street, which helps greatly with safety at the watch party.

Memoir/Biography Books (Bookworm Challenge Recs)

Published on by Cornelius Reed

It all started in my childhood when I picked up my very first book…

Memoirs are on our mind, as our year-long Bookworm Reading Challenge is dedicating March to memoir and biography! If you haven’t heard of our Bookworm Challenge, learn all about it here and sign up on Beanstack.

A memoir is a book written about the author’s own experience, and a biography is a book written about someone else’s life. Both of these are considered nonfiction and are very popular genres. To give you a little boost on your Memoir/Biography Badge, we’ve compiled a list of books that you can read for credit in the Bookworm Challenge!

Bending and Stretching With Us

Published on by notthatrebecca2 Comments

Work has started in earnest and as of late today, our back entrance is closed. Tomorrow, the construction crew will put up some safety fence, designed to keep the work inside and to keep you safely outside the work zone.

Safety First

The library will stay open during this construction project but we all need to pay extra attention to construction signs, cones, and boundaries. The signs and boundaries are there to keep you safe but still give you access to the library. It’s a juggling act to keep the library open while it’s also an active construction zone.

Shared Moments are Special

Published on by notthatrebecca

“When someone gets their first library card, an angel gets his wings.”

Apologies to Frank Capra, but really, can’t you feel the joy in this photo?

This little one knows how to start the New Year off right. They got their first library card and mom sent this photo to us 🥰 (thanks, mom). A first library card is a pretty special moment and certainly one to celebrate! If you think it’s exciting for them, know that it’s also exciting for us.
