December at the Library

Here comes winter...

Winter has been kind to us so far, but who knows what's around the corner! Whether we get blizzards or warmer weather, we'll have books, movies, and programs to help get you through the darkest part of the year.

Want to see everything going on? Take a look on our website to see the full calendar of events, add specific events to your Google calendar, or print out a copy to put on your fridge.

Music by the Fireplace

Every year, we look forward to December when Mary Wagner brings her harp to play by the fireplace. Get away from the busyness of the holiday season and relax to the sounds of harp music on Sunday, December 6 at 3pm.

Snowmobile Safety Course

Snowmobiling is a rapidly growing winter activity, but it can be dangerous without safety training. The Ottawa County Sheriff's Department will teach a free snowmobile safety class on Tuesday, December 8 from 5-8:30pm. Register to reserve a spot.

Winter Craft Wonderland

Join us on Saturday, December 12 at 2pm to make crafts to give as gifts or brighten the season. A very special guest will also be there to meet & take pictures with - Princess Anna of Arendelle!
