TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THE LIBRARY DAY! In-person events at both locations (Sat., Feb. 4)
For Take Your Child to the Library Day, we will be theming our day around fish as a farewell to the fish at Prossser (to prepare for the new library building projects). A very special Rainbow Fish costumed character will be making an appearance at both libraries during the day. We will be reading Rainbow fish stories at both libraries and also enjoying some fish activities such as origami, crafts, coloring sheets, button making, and more! We will also have live music and an opportunity to read to a registered therapy dog! Reading to the dog (Paws & Pages) will require a registration. See our Events Calendar for event times at both locations. Read more >
