Nancy Schassen, our Party in the Park Chairperson par excellence, brought a show and tell to our membership meeting this week. We're going to have an old time carnival shooting gallery with Nerfblasters and rubber duckies. She has gathered a whole pile of stuffed animals for prizes. It's going to be so much fun!

The Friends membership has voted on a name for the library Roomba...

There were so many great suggestions, and we thank everyone who submitted their ideas.

(If you're wondering what's up with the image below--blame it on the AI workshop we had at the library Sunday afternoon!)

Sweeping Beauty

Cleanopatra
Robot B. Parker
Lint Eastwood

Let us know in the comments if you have a favorite or another candidate.

Attention Friends! Get on it...it's a really short survey!

Calling all adults! We are planning our 2026 adult summer reading program and want to hear about that might motivate you to read with us this summer. We have a survey. We made it short! Please consider taking a minute to complete it: https://forms.gle/GyycLAhHnibo189v9

Thank you!

To show our appreciation for the library staff this year, we're giving each of them a birthday present (a gift card to a merchant of their choice). We've got birthday cards, too--designed by local artists.

If you are a Friends member and didn't have a chance to sign the birthday cards for May at the meeting last week, it's not too late. Just stop by the front desk and ask for them (they're on the Friends shelf). You have until May 6!

Another recent improvement to the library meeting hall funded by the Friends: new spotlights for the stage. They're just in time for the FREE performance by the popular Hanneke Cassel Band (Wednesday, May 6, 7:00 pm) -- made possible by a grant to the Friends from the Tammis Day Foundation.

Congratulations to Emily Smith, the winner of our drawing for a $50 gift card to an online or local merchant of her choice! Emily was one of the library patrons who submitted photos during our National Library Week "Show Us Your Joy" campaign.

Emily's photos are shown below, and she shared the following: "We find our joy by visiting Spike to read him stories and draw him pictures. He’s the highlight of our visits. We also get to meet new friends at the library and join the monthly play groups! We love our local library!"

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us celebrate National Library Week 2026.
