You can donate even if you don’t have library fines.
Donate any unexpired non-perishable food, household item, or cash to the Lonsdale Area Food Shelf and we will waive up to $10 in late fees from our library. Our Food for Fines program goes until Saturday, November 6, so hurry in to get those fines waived!
Visit the mad scientist’s laboratory to see creepy experiments, examine terrifying specimens, and drink a potion, if you dare!
Enjoy our indoor amusement park where you can play mini-golf, toss a ball into a monster’s mouth, do some boo bowling or pin the alien in its spaceship!
And don’t forget the library, where we will have crafts for little and not-so-little kids, coloring and worksheets, a spooky photo backdrop, trivia for grown-ups and lots of yummy treats!
Because of the size of the crowd, we ask you to please wear your masks. Thanks for helping us keep our community safe.
Our Food for Fines drive starts the day of the party and goes until Saturday, November 6th. Donate any unexpired non-perishable food, household item, or cash to the Lonsdale Area Food Shelf and we will waive up to $10 in late fees from our library.
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)
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. 
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!
