Readers assemble
We’re starting a new book club for children who love to read. Come by the library on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 4 p.m. to read with friends. No monthly book is required; just bring whatever you’d like to read or find a new book on the shelf, find a cozy spot to sit and read with friends. The club is for ages 8 and up.
Tech Time
Join adult services librarian Amanda Gibson on the third Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m. for a monthly feature on various technologies. For February’s session, she will be discussing Hoopla. Hoopla is a service available for free with your library card which allows you to access movies, audiobooks and more.
True crime club
Meet with other true crime fanatics on the third Thursday of the month at 3 p.m. to discuss various true crime cases and criminals. Each month, there will be a new theme. In March, the club will be discussing unsolved Oklahoma Girl Scout murders.
Encore books
