Hello Library Friends,

I hope 2026 brings you health, happiness, adventure, and plenty of excitement!

Bundle up and join our Winter Reading Challenge for a fun-filled reading journey. Stop by the library to pick up a bookmark—or download and print one from home—then read at least one book each week. Rate each book and decorate your bookmark to celebrate what you’ve read. After a month of reading, visit the library to collect a prize!

While you’re here, be sure to explore our new 3D printer and discover what you can create. Design and print custom objects—from fun figures to useful tools and imaginative projects. If you are new to the world of 3D printing, this exciting technology is easy to use and fun to explore.

This winter, there’s snow place like the library. Your next adventure awaits!

See you soon!

Owl About Town

Owlfred meant to fly outside, but the cold quickly changed his mind. Deciding the library was the better choice, he stopped to warm up near the new 3D printer—clearly a little too close for comfort. One curious peek later—whirr!—and suddenly Owlfred found himself stuck inside. Now he’s waiting patiently for the next 3D print job to be submitted so he can fly free again. Have a design in mind? Submit a 3D print request and help Owlfred escape!
