Let the games begin! Bring the whole family to the library for an afternoon of fun. Play life-size versions of games, while also enjoying classic board games!

Build a leprechaun trap for St. Patrick’s Day! What’s the best way to catch a leprechaun; is it with a pot of gold, four-leaf clovers, or a rainbow? Create the best trap out of recycled materials. Sign-up is required. Call 608-643-8346 or visit the library to sign up!
