Write Your Own Story with author DeAnn Kruempel

Jun 9, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Did you miss DeAnn’s visit in April? Joined us but would love to follow up with your progress and get more tips?

Join DeAnn as she continues to discusses the importance of sharing your stories and writing them down. She hopes to encourage people to share or somehow record their own stories before they are lost forever.

It's a critical way of keeping history alive.

Incredible Bats!!!

Jun 9, 2026, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

“Plant a Seed, Read” is rooted in the concept of farm-to-table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology.

Kim White from Incredible Bats will be visiting for a special informative program on bats! Learn about and interact with bats and other animals from around the world. Kim is trained by Bat Conservation International and Incredible Bats is certified by the USDA.

Incredible Bats will share their Egyptian fruit bats and African straw-colored fruit bats – this is a great opportunity to see them up close!

All ages are welcome to this summer program!

Summer Story Time!!

Jun 10, 2026, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

Plant a Seed, Read is rooted in the concept of farm-to-table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. iREAD 2026: Plant a Seed, Read will provide a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection.

Our goal will be to share our love of reading, develop positive attitudes about reading, and encourage regular use of the library and its services.

This year we will continue with our Story Time during our Summer Reading Program time. We have seen so many sad faces over the years because someone is just a little too young. Our Board of Trustee President and Preschool teacher, Jessica Hupke, will host our story time for those children that are preschool age and younger (Children must be accompanied by a guardian).

We will kick off our Summer Story Time Wednesday, June 10th at 9:30 AM in the Children’s Room. We will then have programs at the library from 9:30 – 10:30 AM every Wednesday during June and July. The programs last approximately one hour. (PS You are welcome to join us for the “Farm to Fork” program and family fun June 7th, and BAT program on June 9th – see above).
