Fight The February Blues; Visit The FADL

New Young Adult Book Club, Valentine Crafts, & More at Fremont Library

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

The Winter Reading Challenge for all ages continues 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 and a grand prize drawing when finished, and children who finish will have a grand prize drawing as well. Winter Reading is generously sponsored by Koffee Kuppe and Friends of the Fremont Area District Library.

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 Drop-In Valentine Craft Saturday will be on February 11th from 10:00-12:00 in the Children’s Department.

The first book title will be chosen soon, so check back with us if interested! Books for these groups are available at the library’s front desk ahead of the meeting if you’d like to check out a copy and join the groups.
