You're invited to attend our Rockin' Pirate Magic Show, featuring entertainer Erica Carlson and her hedgehog Sdedgewick, on Thursday, September 15, in the library auditorium.  This free show is the kickoff event for our new 1000 Books Before Kindergarten literacy program for children.  All ages are invited.

Did you know that reading to your child is one of the most powerful ways to boost his or her brain power?  The simple and enjoyable act of sharing books helps your child learn pre-reading skills such as understanding the sounds letters make, developing a bigger vocabulary, and building background knowledge; all important skills that help prepare your child for learning to read and entering kindergarten.

We are excited to announce that author, and Lima Lantern Tour Guide, James Willis will be at the library on Saturday, September 17th at 2pm to explore all of Ohio's oddities. Join us on a state-wide road trip to discover weird, spooky, and unexplainable tales from our state. Mr.
