Paint the Ville Take Two

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced to reschedule our Paint the Ville Teen Event. The event has been rescheduled for

Saturday, October 27th at 1pm. Those who had reserved spaces for the first event will have the opportunity to reclaim their seats before

we open up to new reservations.

Friday, October 26th from 6:00-10:00pm the library will be hosting a free game night! Costumes are not required but welcome! You may bring in your own board games and snacks to share with other attendees. There will also be some karaoke! For ages 14+.

More Dungeons and Dragons Less Waiting

Role playing games seem to be gaining in popularity at the library. Our D&D books have been circulated with such

demand that we’ve added new copies of the three essential books, as well as several new adventure

manuals. If you need help locating our D&D section or learning how to play, talk to Mr. L for more information.

Do you have an old sweater? Bring it to the library and turn it into a pumpkin! October 13th @ 1:00pm free and open to the first 20 people that register. Call the library at 660-665-6038 to register! The library will provide the rest of the supplies you just bring in the sweater!

Magic night on Friday, October 19th from 6-10pm.

Do you prefer to keep books or give

them away once you’ve read them?

I love to keep my books after I read

them because I can read them again as

well as loan them out to friends and

family.
