Our adult winter reading program will start on Monday, January 6. Read as many books as you want and enter in for prizes! Reading slips must be turned in at the second floor reference desk by 6 PM on Friday, March 6.
Read a 'BINGO' and get a coupon for a free kids' pizza from Eatons Pizza!
Finishers will also be entered in a drawing for a $10 gift card to get an ice cream from a local restaurant (10 winners), or a DVD of the movie Abominable!
Join us for our January Mid-Week Movie! We'll be playing Chocolat, starring Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche. Guests are welcome to bring their own snacks! Everyone is welcome. Parents/guardians - please note movie ratings.
Memory Cafes are places where persons with MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), early-stage Alzheimer's, or a related dementia can go with their care partners to socialize and have fun with other people going through similar things. Memory Cafes provide a time where you do not need to focus on the diagnosis, while having a great time connecting with each other as a family or creating new friendships.
Family comedy show with Things 3 and 4! Join Things 3 and 4 as they explore the themes in “Horton Hears a Who.” No matter how big or small, everyone can help someone in need and stand up for a good cause. Help the Things find simple everyday ways that they can pitch in and lend a hand.
Needles is a social space for those who love knitting, crochet, quilting, and all forms of fiber arts. Historically we've met on Monday evenings, but in 2020 we've added Wednesday afternoons! All ages and experience levels welcome; bring your friends, your parents and your kids!
Hey babies and toddlers! Join us January 24 at 9:15 AM. We'll begin with 10-15 minutes of songs, then have open play! Geared for ages 0-2, older siblings welcome. Boxes, balls, bubbles, a crawling tunnel, and more!
First, we were in your community. Now, we're in your ears. Check out the latest episode of Pager, a monthly podcast from the West Bend Library. Tune in for staff picks, upcoming library events, fun facts, cheesy library jokes, and more! New episodes the 15th of each month.
As part of a study conducted by the directors of the five public libraries in Washington County, we are interested in knowing how you use your library. Let us know how to serve you better!
Want to download ebooks and audiobooks to your personal device, like your smartphone, tablet, or ereader? You can do that here!
