Earth Day is April 22! Ahead of it, we dropped a 🌎NEW scavenger hunt! 🌎 Find all the earths hidden around the library to decode a riddle and get a prize. (You can only do it once ... until the next one!)

Are you ready for another After Hours movie? We're celebrating one of this year's Oscar winners with a bittersweet historical drama at a prep school. Stop by after the American Legion Fish Fry, or just turn up for the free popcorn! As always, 21+ only, as beer or wine is allowed.

The eclipse is almost here! ☀️🌑 While most people will be at work or school during it, you're welcome to view it at the library with us. Thankfully we still have plenty of glasses, so please be sure to pick some up if you don't have a safe way to look at the eclipse.

The scavenger hunts are a big hit - so let's keep the magic going! 🌻 A NEW scavenger hunt just dropped! 🌻This one's a little harder, we think you're up to the challenge! Team up, get help from your big people, and we'll always give you hints. Have fun!

There are going to be colorful eggs around the library with treats in them. I hope it's dried shrimp, that's my favorite treat. Except for people coming to see me. Everyone should come to Storytime this Tues at 6:15 & pay attention to me, I mean, do Easter stuff. - TT

[West Branch Library @westbranchpl]

It's that hoppy time of year! 🐇Join us for a special Easter storytime this week on Tuesday; there will be eggs! Keep an eye on our socials just in case the weather has some tricks in store, but hopefully it will be a wet but spring-like week!🤞
