Ongoing Programs

Romper Room

Physical activity and human connections are important for healthy, happy human beings, and the Romper Room facilitates both! Focusing on active play the room features a trike & trailer, foot-to-floor vehicles, a balance bike, tunnels, tumbling mats, balance beams, and more. The Romper Room is most engaging for ages 2-6 years, though older kids are welcome. The Romper Room is always open during regular library hours. Drop-ins are welcome, though reserving a specific play time with family and friends assures availability.

Monday Matinees

Every Monday at 2:00 p.m. enjoy a newly released or classic film on the big screen. For movie title and rating call the library or check the website. Please note there will be no Monday Matinee on May 30^th as the Library will be closed for Memorial Day.

The concerts take place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at The Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward Street (101 W. Seward Street). Concerts typically occur on Friday evenings, June through August, but occasionally bonus concerts are added or events rescheduled due to weather issues.
