For the past two years, no adult program has brought in as many people as our wildly popular Tai Chi. Over 900 people have come to either one of our weekly sessions, summer monthly sessions, or gotten a taste at our How-To Festival. And next week, it all starts back up again. Every Tuesday from […]

It’s the last week of August, and things are pretty quiet here at the library. Well, quiet in that we don’t have a lot of programs and activities going on.

A new book comes out and you’re dying to get your hands on it, or at least your metaphorical hands because the book is available for download from the Ohio Digital Library on the Libby app. There’s a hold list for this marvelous book (drat!), so you put yourself on the list and wait. And […]
