Limestone Township Library District Hosts Take Your Child to the Library Day


On Saturday, February 7, thousands of libraries across North America celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day by offering free, fun, and fabulous activities for families.

Limestone Township Library District is joining the celebration by having a number of activities to celebrate our library and all it has to offer. Use our Legos during the Lego Free Build to create something out of your wildest imagination.

Take part in a scavenger hunt, find a cute coloring page, do a fun craft, and join story time in the gazebo at 1:00 PM. While you’re here, check out all the great things the library has to offer families, such as games, story bags, movies, and books!

If you’re looking for something special, ask a staff member to help you. If we don’t have it, we can always try to order it from another library.

You can also check out our Countdown to Spring Reading Challenge. On the Reading Challenge bookmark, you will find eleven different book suggestions. Read any five of these from February 1 through March 20 and you can be entered into a drawing for a raffle basket. The Reading Challenge is open to all ages.

Learn to Winter Sow at Limestone Township Library District

 


Learn to Winter Sow at Limestone Township Library District

People have been asking us why we have so many plastic milk jugs in our staff workroom.

These milk jugs are going to serve a specific purpose, especially for those gardeners who are feeling a little antsy to get back into their green spaces.

The Limestone Township Library District can help you get back into the garden when we host a Winter Sow program on Thursday, January 22 at 10:00 A.M. with Holly Froning of the Illinois Extension Office and Master Gardener coordinator. Using the milk jugs in our staff workroom, Froning will show us how to create a seed starting system that can be placed outside once completed.

It’s good messy fun for adults!
