General and Children's Sale Days

Wednesday, May 17

10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Join your local librarian in singing, reading, and playing together to build early literacy skills and a joy of reading. 

This event is outdoors and we usually meet on the stage and recommend bringing a blanket to sit on. 

If you need a professional-looking profile picture and all you have is a smartphone, come to our Professional Headshots program where we will take your photo with our portable photography studio.

Join the Children's Librarian and other families in our cozy Children's reading area for stories, rhymes, songs and simple crafts. Be prepared to wiggle, learn and have some fun!
