Special Event

It's National Library Week 2023 and we are having a Checkout Challenge! We are challenging all of our patrons to check out lots of items.  Our goal is 500 items checked out between Monday, April 24th and Saturday, April 29th.  Receive 1 ticket for each item checked out!

Plan on bringing your crew to join this fun group! We will be experimenting with air dry clay.  What can you make? There will be some "tiny food jewelry" on display as an inspiration.  As always, we will have all of our beading supplies out if you would rather do some beading.  With the air dry clay and the beads, you are only limited by your imagination! We will craft for 1 hour and there will be snacks.

It's Spring Break in Centerburg! Having a Staycation? Don't be bored...stop in each day to do our Boredom Buster activities! Activities start at noon and continue until closing time.  All ages may participate in our amazing Boredom Busters! 

Monday: Sand Art

Tuesday: Games and Puzzles

Wednesday: Amazing Art (use our supplies to make whatever you want)

Thursday: Coloring, Reverse Coloring, Dot-to-Dot (easy and extreme)

Friday: LEGOs

Saturday: Rock Decorating

Stop by anytime this week to participate in our Spring Book Swap.  Bring a book (or several!) from home and swap them for others.  All types and reading levels of books will be available to swap.  We just ask that books you bring in are in good condition.

It's World Read Aloud Day! It's amazing that it falls on a Wednesday when we already do our weekly "Read to Me" sessions.  So, stop by between 3-5 pm and a staff member will read to your child for 15 minutes or we will listen to your child read to us! Parents and caregivers are invited to join in, also.  No registration is necessary.

Stop by anytime this week to help yourself to any of the magazines that we are giving away.  Most are 2022 and you are welcome to take as many as you like.  They are great for reading or crafting! 

We are celebrating St. Patrick's Day in a sweet way.  Wear your green and stop by anytime today to receive a special "treat!" Just stop at the front desk to pick it up.  

This was such a fun event last year, we decided to do it again. All ages are invited to dress up in your most glittery sparkles and join us at our Unicorn Party! There will be snacks, crafts, activities and lots of unicorn fun! This is a come-and-go event so stop by if you can.  There is no registration and please call with questions.

All ages are invited to stop in to do our Indoor Obstacle Course.  Jump, stretch, turn-around and more as you venture to various areas of the library following the fun and interactive course.  This is just what you need on these cold winter days!  Fun for the whole family.

Join us on Sunday, December 15th at 2:00 pm for the return of our hugely popular Polar Express Event.  Entire families are invited to come to the Village Meeting Room (upstairs from the library) to watch the Polar Express movie, have a movie-themed snack and then visit with Santa! We will also have several characters from the movie with us including the Hobo and Conductor.
