Kids St. Patrick’s Day Event Cancelled

Due to the anticipated inclement weather coming this weekend, we decided to cancel the kids St. Patrick’s Day Storytime, crafts, games, and giveaways. We never know what the weather will turn out to be, however, we feel it is in the best interest of all to make to make this decision.
We will be giving the crafts away as take-n-makes starting today. There are 20. They will be given out on a first-come-first-served basis.
The games and giveaways that were a part of this event will be used for our kids Easter event with Terri coming next month. More info on that to come soon. If you have any questions, please call Amy at 320-748-7332.

St. Patrick’s Day Kids Day

Bring the kids in next Saturday for a little fun!
I will have a fun story to read, games to play, prizes to give away, and crafts to do here or take home. We will have plenty of treats too! No sign-up is needed for this. Ages 5 to 12 are preferred, however, if an adult accompanies children 3 and 4 for story and crafts, we welcome you to join us.

Connect 4 Jumbo

Fun for all ages! Thanks to the Friends of the Library for purchasing this fun, classic, versatile option for family fun in the library.
CONNECT 4 JUMBO
Little kids can have fun putting the pieces in the slots and learning how to count. Older kids will not only have fun playing the original game but can compete and create new games. Kids will love challenging mom and dad to a couple of games also.
When you are in to check out some books, make time to play a few rounds, have a few laughs, and before you leave, grab a hot chocolate or coffee.
We look forward to seeing our extraordinary patrons!

Kid’s Valentine take-n-make

A little Valentine take-n-make for the little kids are available at the library. Pick them up at the front desk the next time you are in. Don’t forget, we have the Valentine scavenger hunt going on until the 14 of February. Valentine Day books and DVDs are out also for both adults and children. We look forward to seeing you!
