Preschool Story Hour
Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.
Read-aloud stories and simple crafts for preschoolers (and afternoon kindergarteners) and parents/caregivers. No registration necessary. Programs run through the school year, then break for the summer.
Gaming at TFL
Anytime!
Well, any time that the Hamel Meeting Room is free. The Friends of the Library have purchased a Nintendo Wii and several popular board games for kids and adults to enjoy. So...if you have a yen to bowl -- or golf, or drive race cars, or rack up a triple word score, or find Miss Scarlet in the conservatory with the knife -- all without leaving the comfort of the Hamel Meeting Room, then come on down -- Wii would love to see you!! (All board and video games, except for Wii Sports, are also available for patron use at home and may be checked-out for a loan period of one week.)
