If you filled out a “Rate Your Date” bookmark inside of a “Blind Date with a Book” selection, be sure to have it returned to the library by this Thursday (3/9) before 5 PM as we will be drawing our winner at that time. The lucky patron selected will receive a gift card to a local restaurant of their choice!

Come out to the library this evening for Book Bingo starting at 6 PM! All ages are welcome at this free event where rounds of bingo are played and the prizes are books. Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book of your choice to take home.

We had a fantastic time celebrating the birthday of Dr. Suess at the library this evening! Besides getting to play on specially made Dr. Suess themed bingo cards, everyone also got a big red bow tie to wear just like Cat in the Hat. We’re glad so many young readers decided to spend National Read Across America Day with all of us at the library!

Did you know that today kicks off Read Across America Week which goes from March 2-6? To start off this very important week, the library will be celebrating National Read Across America Day by hosting a special edition of Book Bingo just for kids! Children of all ages are welcome to join us this evening at 6 PM. And remember, even if you don’t win any rounds of bingo you are still guaranteed a free book to keep!
