Have you visited the library with your children lately? This Saturday, February 2, is Take Your Child to the Library Day!

Parents and grandparents are invited to bring a child to the library, and help them discover the magic of reading. The library offers a world of books for children of all ages, as well as computers, movies, magazines, toys and activities, special events, and so much more.

Say hello to a library worker; they will be glad to help you find something your child is interested in. From sports to science, LEGOs to princesses, the library can bring your child access to a world of information and ideas. If your child can write their name, they are old enough to sign up for their own library card! A child’s parent or guardian should also be present, to sign the parental permission. Come help your child discover the library for themselves, and open the door to lifelong learning.

All Adams County Public Libraries will be open from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm on Saturday.

Happy Groundhog Day! We will be playing with shadows and groundhogs at 3:30 pm, after school. Join us to see whose shadow is lurking about the North Adams Library.
 

Who is this stranger? Why did he arrive after a winter storm and what surprises does he bring? Join us for this delightful book of the animals and birds reaction to a snowman that suddenly appeared in their woods after a winter storm.  Thursday, January 31 at 3:30.

Let it Snow! Get out of the cold and join us for stories about snow, sledding, and winter fun. We will build a snowman, and then warm up with some hot chocolate. Bring a friend for some afterschool fun Thursday, January 24 at 3:30.

This month, Fiber Circle is moving to Thursday, January 17 at 4:30 pm, when we'll be joined by Melissa Baker, who will demonstrate paper piece quilting. Now is a great time to use up some of those scraps you’ve been saving or that bunch of charm pieces.  Bring two contrasting colors to follow along, pattern pieces will be provided for a five-pointed star.

Join us for a good old-fashioned "Family Game Night" in the afternoon, at the North Adams Library! It’s so much fun to get together with family or friends and laugh the afternoon away.  If you have a new game and haven’t had a chance to play, bring it to the library, invite a few friends -- or just come as you are, show up, and play.

Want help getting started with your new ereader? Come to the library for a hands-on help session, and learn to borrow library eBooks on your ereader, tablet, or smartphone. Bring your device and any connecting cables. If you have a Nook Simple Touch or a Kindle Paperwhite, bring your laptop, too! Questions? Call 937-587-2085 for more information.
