Fall is (sometimes) in the Air!
The days still feel like summer, but cooler evenings, shorter days, and pumpkin everything remind us that fall is here! It’s time to get back to familiar routines after summer vacations and activities, do some fall clean up and prep for winter, and just enjoy the coziness of the season!
We had an amazing Summer Reading Program this year–142 kids completed the program, reading 2,994 books, and winning lots of fun prizes! We’re already looking forward to next year’s program–Unearth a Storytm–featuring dinosaurs, paleontology, and archeology!
October 7th brings back our FALL STORYTIME for the little ones. Three- to five-year-olds can enjoy stories, songs, games, and crafts as they learn about OPPOSITES. The program runs every Tuesday from 10:30–11:00 am through Nov. 4.
We’ve been doing some fall clean-up here as we get ready for our upcoming FALL BOOK SALE! The sale will be held Tues. Oct. 21 through Fri. Oct. 31 in the main library building during library hours. A lot of fiction books that haven’t been read in a lot of years will be looking for a new home, AND an era is coming to an end– we have discarded our entire collection of VHS tapes! If you still have a videocassette player, come stock up on movies to get you through the winter (or check out Pinterest for ways to repurpose old tapes!).
The PUZZLE SWAP returned Sept. 30. Come swap out your own puzzles for different ones the last Tuesday of the month from 5:00–7:00 pm at the library. The next swap will be Oct. 28.
Looking for a new read? A few new titles are: Billion Dollar Ransom (James Patterson), The Women of Oak Ridge (Michelle Shocklee), The Amish Widow’s Last Stitch (Tracy Fredrychowski), Once Upon a Christmas Carol (Melody Carlson), We Are All Guilty Here (Karin Slaughter), The Unexpected Journey: finding strength, hope, and yourself on the caregiving path (Emma Heming Willis).
Some new DVD releases include: Lilo & Stitch, Superman, 1923 (season 2), Jurassic World: Rebirth, Elmo’s Happy Halloween Party, How to Train Your Dragon, and many Hallmark movies.
Stop in and see what’s new, check something out, and enjoy a cozy autumn season!
Summer Fun!
The sun is shining and the world is full of color again! Time to get outside–and also get to the library! There’s so much going on this summer! Kids can “Color Our World” by joining our 2025 Summer Reading Program that begins June 2nd. We’re kicking off the program with…a snowplow! The Noble County garage will have their plow here June 2nd, 3rd, & 4th for the kids to decorate with their handprints. Then bring the kids inside to sign up for the program. There are lots of cool prizes this year (see some of them in our display case), as well as fun programs! Noble County Health Department will have a Bike Safety program June 18 at 10 am; learn about birds and make an easel painting on June 27 at 10 am; firemen from Caldwell Volunteer Fire Dept. will be here with a truck and lots of fun things planned on July 9 at 10 am; and our grand finale pool party will be Aug. 12 from 5-7 pm.
For the adults: the Caldwell Community Seed Library is going strong–there are still many seeds available. Stop in for some free seeds and helpful gardening and program information.
This year the Wilds is offering free passes (good for up to 6 household members), available to our library cardholders. One pass is available per day on a first come/first serve basis, throughout the season. Call if you have any questions.
There’s lots to do, so don’t forget to check out the library in the middle of your other summer activities!
There’s Lots to Love at the Library!
January definitely gave us a dose of winter, and now that we’ve thawed out, why not see what’s new in February at the library?
Our preschool age Winter Storytime kicks off Tuesday, February 4 from 10:30 to 11:00. Just call the library at 740-732-4506 to sign up your 3-5-year-old. The theme is “Friendship & Kindness”.
The Noble County Health Department will be at the library Friday, February 7 from 10 am till noon doing free blood pressure checks.
On Friday, February 14, stop in and get a Valentine from us!
Interested in your family history? Why not come to the monthly meeting of the Noble County Genealogical Society (located in the Annex) on Saturday, February 15 at 11:00 am. For more information, email them at noblecoogs@gmail.com.
The monthly Puzzle Swap will be Tuesday, February 25 from 5-7 pm. Bring in your puzzles to exchange with others, or if you don’t have puzzles, stop in anyway–there are extras. Contact Misty Wyscarver at misty.wyscarver@outlook.com if you have questions or comments.
It’s still a good time to stay in where it’s warm and enjoy a movie or book. Come check out some of our new movies: Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright; Venom: The Last Dance; and the inspirational film The Forge, from the creators of War Room. Your favorite popular authors have new books out: The Texas Murders by James Patterson; Order of Swans by Jude Deveraux; Clive Cussler’s Desolation Code; Jonathan Kellerman’s Open Season; and Presumed Guilty by Scott Turow.
Need tax forms? If you’re thinking of working on your taxes and need forms printed out, we can do that (we do have to charge for the copies).
Whether you just need to get out and about a little bit or want to get something to do while staying in, we hope you’ll visit soon!
