Come anytime the library is open during this week and wander the halls of the library to check out the Friends of the DeKalb Public Library's popular booksale! Find great titles for you or gifts for family and friends. All proceeds go to funding library programs, materials and equipment. Volunteers and donations are being accepted. Please contact Jill Cutts at friends@dkpl.org for donation guidelines and volunteer information. And remember most items sell for $1.00 or less!
Parents! Day care providers! This story time is for children ages 0-5 and it comes with a twist! Come and join Miss Becky as she tells stories, sings songs, and presents lively puppets in Spanish and English. Children can learn and appreciate stories, puppet plays, songs, and much more in a different language. Translations will be available. This week we will be reading about spiders!
Make a house that actually has a spout for the spider to slide up and down.
Always wanted to learn how to crochet? Or maybe you are just looking for others who share your favorite pastime? Either way this club is for you! Knitters are also welcome!

If you are unsure of what you need, a basic crochet how-to booklet will be provided during classes. There is no sign up necessary.

TAG: Making Libraries Work for Teens! TAG is about local teens talking to librarians and helping to decide which books, programs, and services they need. It's about making your voices heard and your choices matter. Refreshments are provided--all you have to do is bring your ideas, energy, and enthusiasm! This program is, clearly, just for teens.
Did you miss a fun craft because it was at the wrong time or on the wrong day? Now you have another chance to create something fun, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. Come in any time between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to make one, or several, craft projects with Miss Becky. Younger children should have an adult present to assist with any cutting or gluing required.
This hands on class will help you learn the basics of digital photo editing.
