School has started, and you know what that means: it's time for homework! Keep in mind that the computers will now be limited to homework only from 3pm-9pm but you can play games all day on Fridays and Saturdays.

Did you know? The library has databases that you can access if you can't find the information you need in a book. Ask a librarian to help find the right one for your assignment.

We have lots of new booklists for kids and tweens of all ages! Our new and improved booklists have pictures of the book and a description of the story, so it is easier to pick out the best book to read. Find booklists for picture books, early readers, and chapter books on display in the stacks, or ask a librarian.

Check out our chat window right over there on the right. We're online any time that the library is open, ready to answer your questions over chat. Give it a try! You can also IM (instant message) us for book recommendations. (We love helping with that!) Got a question about the library or a program? We can answer it for you in that little white box, too.

We have lots of fun activities planned for the next few months, so stop by and pick up a winter program schedule. You'll be able to sign up for your favorite programs - crafts, gaming, and storytimes - as well as some brand-new programs for kids and tweens.

If you want to attend programs specially for 'tweens, we have crafts, game days, and other fun programs! Don't forget to visit us for more information and to sign up.
