Special Event

Special events and activities each day this week to celebrate the upcoming eclipse! Attend any Moon Week event and just ask to receive special eclipse glasses (limit 1 per person--supplies are very limited). 

Monday 4/1/24: Space Storytimes 11 am & 6 pm and Space Race (all day).  Space Race is a scavenger hunt to find all that you need to travel to space! Space Race will be going on the entire week.

We will be participating in the community's Dog Days of Summer event! The majority of the event will take place in Bell Park (across from the gazebo and right beside Scissor Shack), but for our treat we ask that you stop in at the library between 10-3 to pick up a take-home dog (or cat) magnet kit.  Supplies are limited.

School picture days create memories that last a lifetime. Celebrate this day by stopping by the library to see staff school pictures on display.  Today, show us any of your school pictures from time-gone-by to receive a special treat! All ages are encouraged to participate!

Join us for a presentation about geocaching.  Sandy McCann and Katie Hux will let you know everything it takes to get started as a geocacher.  Sandy has been geocaching for years and has enjoyed this hobby as she travels all over the U.S.  Katie is retired from the Knox County Parks District and has been instrumental in organizing and setting up geocaches all over Knox County.  They both have so much experience and information that this is sure to be a fun event. All ages invited. Please call with questions.

All ages are invited to drop by and become a toothpick engineer! Work by yourself, with a friend or a whole team to build whatever you like using only toothpicks and marshmallows! Can you build a tall structure? A domed shape building? Come and find out! This is a come and go activity and you may take your creation home with you.

All ages are invited to stop by today from 10 am - 6 pm to build with our LEGOs.  Make a creation and we will display it for several days for all to see! Please remember that LEGOs are small, so younger children should be accompanied by a grown-up.  

We will be playing B-I-N-G-O for fun and cool prizes! Even non-winners will leave with a treat.  All ages are invited to attend because everyone loves Bingo!  We will meet at the gazebo and you may bring a chair or blanket to sit on, if you wish.  We will play for about 30 minutes. If weather looks bad, we will relocate to meeting room. Please call with questions.
