Our monthly Saturday morning movies are now an interactive experience, with props and "rules" throughout the movie, making it even more fun. And there is still free popcorn.

The free family-oriented movies begin at 10:30 a.m. in the library meeting room.

It is up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon to help her stop the sinister Druun from taking over their land for good. But, along her journey, Raya learns that it will take more than dragon magic to save the world; it's going to take trust as well.

Enjoy the journey with Raya during this unique viewing experience.

Yes, the library is pleased to be able to offer a free bagged lunch to anyone 18 and younger this summer. And, in a change from last year, children and/or their guardians may pick up lunch each day or up to 5 meals per week at one time and take it with them.

The library is participating in the Summer Food Service Program through sponsorship with the Children's Hunger Alliance, the Ohio Department of Education, and the USDA.

Lunch is available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday through August 11.

Visit the library and grab a free Take-and-Make bag with all the supplies needed to construct your bows. The bags include enough supplies to make three bows, but you also can use your own magazine pages to put your individual spin on it.

They will be available throughout the month.
