Special Event

Join Tina and Valorie as they have some fun connecting the dots between a good fiction book and a great recipe.  During "Cook the Book," they will discuss a fiction book and then demonstrate a recipe that was inspired by that book.  This will be a seasonal event on YouTube that you may view at your convenience.  You may find our YouTube channel by searching Centerburg Public Library on YouTube or by following the link  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdxQqWiT6GLjngWwYkJJLiA

We were invited by the local Farmer's Market to offer an activity today from 4:30pm-7 pm.  This activity will take place in our meeting room here at the library. As you know, the Farmer's Market is just across from the gazebo, so take the short walk over to the library to complete your activity! We will be making dried flower bookmarks. This is a super quick craft and quite easy.   It is a free and fun activity that all ages may participate in.  So, when visiting opening day of the Farmer's Market, be sure to stop over to see us!

We are beyond excited to have Magic Nate back in Centerburg! He performed last year during Summer Reading and was a massive hit.  His unique style of magic is a combination of classic and street styles and is a perfect fit for all ages. You may have seen him elsewhere as he is a very busy professional entertainer and travels extensively to perform his magic.  This show will last approximately 30 minutes and is appropriate for all ages. The show will be held upstairs from the library in the Village Council Chambers.
