Nintendo Wii - Gaming
Anytime!
Well, any time that the Hamel Meeting Room is free. The Friends of the Library have purchased a Nintendo Wii video game set and several popular board games for kids and adults to enjoy. So...if you have a yen to bowl -- or golf, or play carnival games, 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!!
No registration necessary for any of these programs, and drop-ins are most welcome. For all evening programs when the library is closed, please use the Hamel Meeting Room entrance in the back.
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 June 2nd, then break for the summer, resuming in mid-September.
