Welcome Back!
We hope you all enjoyed your winter break. It's time to get back into the swing of routines and leisure learning! This next week is the start of our Spring 2026 classes and we are excited for what the new semester has in store. Whether you're interested in fitness, crafts, language practice, or games, we have something planned for everyone. Remember, all library events are free and open to the community.
A quick recap of our Spring 2026 Open House event on January 7th:
Many thanks to our volunteers LeRoy and Lori Vaske, Marty and Sharon Samson, Jack and Carolyn Camp, David Cole, Adrianne DeBaker, Andre Marsh, Remy Douglas, Monet Douglas, Talot and Nicoletta Talpur, Louise Rugaard, Marsha Dougherty, Kathy Morley, and Sharon Anderson. Without your help, this event would not have been the success that it was. Your dedication and time to helping the program is much appreciated!
Another shout out to Arella on Jones and Kelsey-Sebold/United Healthcare for food and door prize donations, and HEB for food donation!
