Elvis Coming to FADL

Winter Reading, New Young Adult Book Club, Healthy Living, & More at Fremont Library in January

​The Fremont Area District Library is planning to host several fun and educational events in January for the whole family. These events are FREE, as always.

The Winter Reading Challenge for all ages is back this year beginning January 2nd, and runs through March 3rd. Children can sign up in the Children’s Department and teens and adults can sign up at the Reference Desk. Each age group will get a reading log with a challenge to complete, and when finished, you can bring it in for a prize. Teens will also be entered into raffle drawings for each book read. Winter Reading is generously sponsored by Koffee Kuppe and Friends of the Fremont Area District Library.

Storytimes will begin again and run from January 18th-April 13th. Toddler Storytime, for babies and toddlers up to age 3, will be held on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m., and Family Storytime for children up to age 5 will be held on Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. A special Snowman Saturday Storytime, for children up to age 5 will be on January 28th at 11:00 a.m. in the Community Room in partnership with the Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce’s Cabin Fever events.
