Hello, friends! The library staff is thrilled to share all the exciting fun we have planned for you this Summer. Here’s what you can look forward to this June! Start the month with us at our Summer Reading Opening Day on June 4 at 10 a.m. It’s going to be a blast with a bounce house, creative art projects, bubbles, colorful chalk, and cool registration goodies! We can’t wait to kick off summer together.
Don’t miss our Friday Movie Matinee on June 13, where you can kick back and enjoy a fantastic film. Plus, we have some awesome classes lined up, like Container Gardening with Master Gardener Diana Kirk on June 16 and the super fun Make Your Own Ice Cream event on June 17!
We love introducing new programs each month, but our weekly book clubs and activities are also open to new faces. If you enjoy lively discussions, why not join our Mystery Book Club or dive into imaginative conversations with our Science Fiction Book Club? Both clubs meet once a month and we would love to see you there!
For those who love to create, we have workshops just for you! Join us at the Sewing Workshop every Monday at 1:30 p.m., unleash your artistic flair at the Open Art Studio on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m., or come knit with the ICL Knitters Group every Thursday at 1 p.m. We’d love to see your creativity shine!
We also want to support our community in meaningful ways. Greg Dotson from La Plata County Veteran Services is here to help during dedicated office hours on the first Wednesday of each month from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. And don’t forget our free legal clinic with volunteer attorneys, available online on the third Tuesday of each month from 4 to 5:40 p.m. – just remember to RSVP by calling 970-563-9287. If you’re looking for emotional support, our Grief Support Group meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 3 p.m., led by the wonderful Sara Barnes, LPC, from Hospice of Mercy. No commitment is needed; just come when you feel like it!
We’ve got lots of fun activities planned for our younger patrons too! Bring your little ones to Storytime on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. for delightful crafts and stories. On the first Thursday of each month at 4:30 p.m., enjoy the hands-on excitement of Silly Science. Don’t forget to join us for Teen Night with Laser Tag on June 19 at 6 p.m. It’s going to be a fantastic evening!
Finally, be sure to explore the IDEA LAB – our vibrant space for hands-on learning and creativity! Join Mr. Ron, our amazing IDEA LAB Educator, for exciting classes in our Makerspace. Every Friday and Saturday this month from 1 to 3 p.m., jump into Aeronautics workshops. We’re also super excited to host more Glowforge, Tile Engraving and Coloring Engravings Introduction classes in the coming months.
We can’t wait to see you at the library for all the fun this month!
