Storytime
Join us Thursdays at 10:30 for a song, a story, and a craft! All ages are welcome.
Children of all ages and attention spans are welcome! Storytime is an extremely casual program meant to get kids familiar with the library and to hopefully contribute to a love of books, stories, and reading.
If your child cannot sit still for stories, that is perfectly fine (and perfectly normal!). Bring them anyway!

Join Olivia Westenskow Wednesday mornings at 10:15 am in the Community Room for Bright Beginnings! Bright Beginnings is a class for little ones ages 0-3 and their caregivers where they’ll experience movement, music, snacks, and play with their peers. Space is limited, so registration is required. Text Olivia at 541-786-2259 to reserve your spot.
