Get ready to launch into STEM fun! Design and build your own mini catapult using popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and bottle caps. Test your aim, tweak your design, and see who can fling the farthest. All materials provided—just bring your creativity!

Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way than to help others in our community! We are gratefully accepting donations of new and unopened items, such as diapers, baby formula, clothing, toys, small household items, etc. These will be distributed via a "giving tree" that will be set up at the Baldwin Boettcher Library. 

Those in need of something from the tree will bring us a leaf from it that lists an available item and will be able to leave with the real item in hand. There will be a limit of 1 item per family per week.

Create and eat a tasty food item!

Join us at the Parker Williams Library for our diamond painting club meeting! Relax, chat and enjoy this beginner friendly adult club. Diamond painting is a craft activity that involves applying tiny resin rhinestones to a pre-printed canvas to create a mosaic-style art piece. It's also known as crystal art or 5D painting.

This craft is a series since diamond painting may take some time. Patrons must finish a painting before they will be allowed to start a new one.
