What’s Happening at Your Local Library?
Computers are available for public use. We can make copies and fax.
We continue to offer no contact events through Facebook and Zoom. Many activities have kits available for patrons to pick up. Check out these events for February:
February 1st-12th: Blind Date with a Book – Remember the saying: Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover? Stop by Erie Islands Library and choose one of the wrapped books on display. Check the book out and then take it home to read. Let us know if you enjoyed your selection by rating the book. All participants will be entered in a drawing .
Wednesday, February 3rd: Kitchen Chemistry with Sue: Penny Puzzlers – How much fun can you have with a penny? Can you clean them? What ingredients would you use? Can you balance them on your finger?

Tuesday, February 16th: Zoom Words & Wine Book Club – Join us and share a book you have read from the comfort of your homes while enjoying a beverage of your own choosing.

If we don’t have a book, DVD, audiobook or magazine that you want, we can order it for you from 257 other libraries in our consortium. Eight million volumes are available to borrow. Stop by today!
Special thanks goes out this month to Tom Thanasiu for using his ingenuity with installing the new book, Little Owl’s Snow by Divya Srinivasan, along the Put-in-Bay StoryWalk Trail at Dodge Woods Nature Preserve. In addition hats off to Doug Wilhelm for hauling our new tables to the library from the Miller Boat Line and to Tom Thanasiu for assembling the tables! We Love our Volunteers!
