Celebrate Women’s History Month with a fun activity inspired by StoryWalk. During the whole month of March, you can 'march' to each of our four library locations to read a different part of the same book . You won’t know the whole story unless you visit them all! Begin at the East Hills Library, (502 N. Woodbine Road), then visit Washington Park Library (1821 N. 3rd St.), then the Downtown Library (927 Felix St.) and finally, wrap up the story at Carnegie Library (316 Massachusetts St.)

We look forward to your visit! 

Help us celebrate both "Youth Art Month (TM)" and "National Reading Month" with our Second Annual Mini Canvas Art Contest! The theme is "Reading" and the contest is for grades K-12. The mini canvas art works will be on display at the East Hills Library throughout the month of March. The public is invited to vote for their favorite piece in each age category, so tell your friends and family! There will also be professional artist guest judges. 

Award ceremony will be on April 6th at 6 p.m. (attendance not required).
