FAMILY STORY TIME
Mondays 10:30 AM | No age limit.
Story time is back! We will meet outside on the library lawn. Together, we will enjoy stories, songs, movement, and occasionally craft activities. If you have not been vaccinated, masks are highly suggested plus physical distancing, and families can bring their own picnic blanket or beach chairs, which can be spaced 6 feet apart. Water bottles and sippy cups are recommended to help keep cool outside. We will continue outdoor story times every Monday morning at 10:30 a.m., and in the event of rain, we will meet indoors.
NO STORYTIME ON JULY 5th.

Virtual Programming Poll

Until we can have in-person programming, we would like to know what kind of virtual programming for children might be popular. Are you adept at and comfortable with Zoom or tired of it by now? Please let us know your preferences in our new survey. We look forward to hearing your feedback!
What else is new?
Lego Kits
With your library card, you can check out 50 or 100 Lego's to build with at home. If you lose one or two, don't worry. We have plenty to replace them with. Take a picture of your creation and share it with us by sending it to jenny@ingallslibrary.com or tag us on social media (IG: @ingallsmemorial; FB: @ingallslibrary)
3D Printing
The 3D Printer is back to work again! Let Miss Jenny know if there's anything you'd like to see it make for you! Explore all the many creative possibilities on thingiverse.com.
Board Games
Come borrow one of the various board games or card games in our collection. Find them in the Young Adult room upstairs. We're planning to host Game Nights at the library this summer, but you can also check them out for 2 weeks and host your own Family Game Tournament!
