They will be discussing the options at their January 8, 2018 meeting, which is at 5:00 p.m. at the library.

Thank you to everyone who participating in our Food for Fines drive and Toys for Tots. With everyone's help, we collected 2 full boxes of toys for the program to help all kids have a Merry Christmas.
Four boxes of food were collected and given to the Hemlock United Methodist Church food pantry! The support of everyone in our community is appreciated by the library and the programs we support.

Come check out our Makerspace Station located at the blue table in the Juvenile Section of the library! This is a self help activity that changes every 2 weeks. These activities make kids think, learn, and create all while having fun at the library. This month's activities are:
January 15th - January 26th .......Sound Spinners
January 29th - February 9th .....Reflection Snowflake
Have some spare time and want to keep the kids occupied? Come hang out at the library and try out some of the STEM kits. These kits are available for use at the library anytime, just ask at the counter. They make noise, light up, and are fun for the kids (adults too)!
