Do you have books that you’re looking to get rid of? As long as they are in good condition and are not reference materials, consider donating them to us! The books that don’t get added to our shelves may be sold at our book sale in February. The funds from the sale will go towards programming for people of all ages. Did I mention that your donation is tax-deductible? To donate, simply bring in the books during our normal library hours. (No after-hours drop offs, please)
The book group for grown-ups is back! Our first meeting will be Thursday, October 7th at 6:00 pm at the library. We will be reading Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover. If you would like to order a copy, you can give us a call or request online. Everyone is welcome!
The library will be closed Monday, September 6th in celebration of Labor Day. Hopefully, you can put aside your labors and enjoy a day with family.
The Final Drop in craft of the summer will send the kids back to school in style! Stop in and make our bird pencil topper, and use it to top one of our Lonsdale Public Library pencils! (while supplies last)
For adults, we will be giving away a book every month. All you h
ave to do is comment on our question of the month and you’ll be entered into the drawing.
Our prize this month is Ocean Prey by John Sandford. This 2021 novel mixes the long-running Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers series. When three members of the Coast Guard are murdered, it will take all the skills of these two investigators to find justice.
Beginning September 10th, storytimes will be held in the large meeting room. They are a great opportunity for pre-readers to enjoy a story or two, share songs or finger plays, do cool crafts and develop those pre-literacy skills. Not to mention a place for parents to relax and meet.
We’re back online recommending books for all ages and interests. We will post a new video to our Facebook and YouTube pages the first and third Wednesdays of the month. If you have a few related books to recommend, we welcome guest stars!
It’s time to get the gang back together! We are currently selecting a day and time for our book group for grown-ups, so if you’re interested, please let us know when would work for you. We pick our next book as a group and tend to read widely, so get ready for a fun adventure.
A mad scientist lab, games, crafts, treats and more. Fun for the whole family!
Donate any unexpired food item(s) to the Lonsdale Area Food Shelf and we will waive up to $10 in late fees from our library per card.
We are accepting donations of good-quality recent books now. We need volunteers to plan, sort and to assist on the sale day. If you can do any of these, please talk to us.
Teens and adults will need to solve the murder of Mr. Boddy!
Puppets that move are always so much fun! This week’s craft uses clothespins to create a puppetwith a moving mouth for either a unicorn or a dragon. Just color, cut, and glue, and soon you’ll have your very own. All supplies are provided. 
Drop-in craft this week is an adorable 3D fish! They look pretty snazzy with those fantails. Stop by and make one while supplies last!
We will be sharing a drop-in craft every week in August. Come in Wednesday through Saturday and make one of your own. During this Olympic year, we’re seeing a lot of flags. What would your flag look like? Design your own!
Due to the combination of heat, smoke and fumes from repaving the parking lot, outside storytime for this Friday is cancelled. Hope to see you next week!
The library’s parking lot will be closed for repaving Tuesday, July 20th and Wednesday, July 21st. Patrons will need to park on the street.
