Scavenger Hunt |
|
 You never know what you might find in a visit to the library on a typical day. But there will be even more surprises in store for any children who visit the week of September 15-20.
All children ages 17 and under are invited to pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the Circulation Desk during that week then discover all the clues hidden around the library. Everyone who completes the scavenger hunt receives a prize. (Limit one prize per child.)

Crafty Creations |
|
 One of the best aspects of Crafty Creations is that there is never any cost to participants, but would the term "two for the price of one" stilll apply?Either way, September's Crafty Creations features two related crafts. Each participant at this month's gatherings will have the opportunity to decorate an enamel camping mug and make loose leaf tea bags to go with the mug. Creative adults are invited to attend the evening session at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30. Registration is required. Just stop by or call the library at 937.783.3585 by Sept. 26 to register. Crafty Creations is always free, and supplies — and instruction — will be provided. |
