The Mazza Museum at the U. Of Findlay is a wonderful museum of original art from Children’s Books illustrators.  They are offering a virtual StoryTime- check it out!

The decision to close is a difficult one, knowing that many depend on our library to access the internet, find resources and good books to read. We hope you will take this time to stay home, enjoy the outdoors, read, and catch up on doing some of those things you haven’t had time to do.

“In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity“. -Albert Einstein

Due to the Coronavirus(COVID 19) situation, StoryTime will be canceled until further notice. Please keep reading to your children at home!! At this time the library will remain open when volunteers are available.

StoryTime for children ages 3-5 meets on Wednesdays from 10-11. Bring your little one for a fun time of stories, music, and art activities! No signup needed.

“Telling a story is like reaching into a granary full of wheat and drawing out a handful. There is always more to tell than can be told.” 
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

We hope you will stop in often this year, to pick up a good story to take home, or to share one of your own.

This Saturday, Santa arrives at the library at 11 on the fire truck! You won’t want to miss this special once-a-year visit from our favorite guy in the red suit!!
