SPRINGBORO - We are giving our patrons more in 2020 than ever before. Did you know the library has audio books, music and e-books? Check out our website. We have way more than just books!!
But for those of you who are loyal to the paper literature, we just got another new batch of bestsellers in. Some new fiction and non-fiction books on the “New Book” shelves this week are: Thomas Perry “ A Small Town”, Robin Cook “Genesis”, Jane Ann Krentz “The Vanishing”, Clive Cussler “Final Option” and “Pioneer Woman Cooks- The New Frontier”. We have new books for kids and teens as well.
Our craft workshops continue on the third Thursday of each month. Most of our workshops are free. And we typically have a craft for kids under 12 as well. We are currently planning an additional Valentine’s workshop for February 6th. Local artist, Tammy Clement, will be here to coach us making “pernickys”. They are ornaments that look like gingerbread valentine hearts . Watch for more workshops on our Facebook page and on our website.
Public libraries are a great asset to any community. We are continually upgrading our system and adding more services for our patrons. In addition to a first rate pre-school storytime and popular craft workshops we have had senior gadget classes, community chat evenings, lego club, book club and more. Most recently, we are adding hotspots. Hotspots operate on the T-mobile network and grant internet access to the patron. The library does not track your usage. But they can turn off usage if not returned on time. The new hotspots are available to check out for 14 days at all Crawford County libraries. Check out our website or Facebook page to see more.
