Sign-up and library staff will share the Zoom link. On the day of the call, you’ll need online access plus a smartphone or computer with a camera / microphone.

Let’s get our families together! Join a group video call hosted by a librarian. We’ll chat together and play a party game. (If you’ve never been in a Zoom meeting, this is a fun, low-pressure way to try it!) Family and friends from out-of-town are welcome, too. Invite them!

In June, Emily will host a family trivia using Kahoot. In July, Dwayna will host a drawing game using old-fashioned pencil and paper.

Write to Joe

Joe is the tortoise that lives at the library during the summer. He told us that his school year was lonely. This summer, he could use some excitement. Write Joe and tell him what you've been up to! You can send Joe pictures, stories, notes, whatever you want. Joe promises to write back!
