🟠 Wednesday, April 29 – Adult Night: Nutrition Focus

The Read to Ride with Bikes for Books Reading Program is starting! This year, we are partnering with the Mason Lafayette Lodge #48 and Fayette Central School.  Children grades PreK-5,  can read and record books on the reading log sheet.  When a book or 10 pages, is read by you (for the younger children) or your child, your child will color a book.  All recording sheets are due on the last day of each month.  At the end of the month, students will turn in their recording sheet at the school or the library. The students will exchange the recording sheets for tickets to put in the bike drawing. Students can earn one ticket per month to put in the drawing from November to April. We will draw for the bikes in the spring. Happy reading!

Bikes for Books will run from September  2025-April 2026.  Letters and reading logs will be sent home with students at Fayette Central School.

This winter, as the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, stay active and join us at the Underwood Memorial Library for a Free Morning Stretch Class. Take a break from the cold in our cozy, welcoming space and enjoy stretching in the company of your community.
