Up and Running

The Library Kids website is up and running again. Most of the missing images have been replaced. So, yay!

Don't forget, Preschool Story Time begins tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

The Official Word is- WAIT

Got the word this afternoon on the Library Kids website. I am to wait until next week to try and fix things. So, for now things will stay as they are. Thanks for you patience.

No Images For Now

Still having problems with the Library Kids website. It may be quite awhile before it is back to its former glory.
Weather and websites, both beyond our control.

Movie today @ 2:00. G-Force. Come one, come all.

Still not back to normal

The Library Kids website is trying to come back, but there are still problems. All of the images are gone, for one. They are working on fixing things, but it will take some time. In the meantime, don't forget, we are showing the movie "G-Force" in the Clymer room on our BIG screen. The show starts at 2:00 pm and is open to all ages. As usual, children under seven years of age, must be accompanied by an adult while in the library.

Holiday Hours

We will close at 5:00 pm tomorrow, December 31, 2009. We will be closed all day Friday, January 1, 2010. We will reopen at 9:00 am Saturday, January 2. Happy New Year, everyone!!

Website Down

Our Library Kids website is down. Not sure when it will be up. Seems to be a problem with the server and beyond our control.
In the meantime, check here for news!

CONTESTS

There are two new contests to enter if you fancy yourself an artist or author. Visit our Library Kids website for details.

OVER 1,000 !!

The paper chain is officially over 1,000 links long! Thanks to our fabulous readers, the chain is now 1,011 links long. Each link represents a book that has been read. It is beautiful and fun! It is worth a trip to the library just to see it. How many times have you seen a paper chain that is over 1,000 links long? I will get pictures posted, but they don't do it justice. Speaking of pictures, the Children's Department has a Flickr page now. Visit and see the crafts the kids have made.
