Dear patrons,

You may notice that some things have been moved around. Please excuse our setup while we make way for a brand new early literacy center in the library! 

FAQ: What is an early literacy center?

The first Tuesday of the month from February through April is for grades K-5 this spring and winter. We will meet at 3:30 at the Boy Scout Building at Ruihley Park, due to construction of our early literacy center at the library!

Because of the construction of a brand new Early Literacy Center in the library, Story Time and Story Hour are going to undergo some major changes for the semester until the build is complete. We will be combining toddler story time with story hour to create a unique and fun family experience where caregivers are involved in each event.

Hosted by the Wauseon Public Library, The Delta Public Library, and The Archbold Community Library, teams of up to 2-8 people can sign up to participate in a county-wide amazing race scavenger hunt! All teams earn a prize and can compete for the grand prize.

To participate, sign up your team at the Archbold Community Library or email m.yunker@archboldlibrary.org BEFORE race day!

She'll bring the drums, YOU get to play them!

No experience necessary; FUN for the whole family!

What is it? How does it work?

Cookin' by the Book is a new cooking book club!

Every month, we will each check out a copy of the same cookbook, cook a recipe from that book, and bring what we made to share at the meeting! It's a great way to find good recipes and try new foods! 

When is it happening?

Our next meetup is Wednesday, April 24th from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm in the main reading room of the Library. Please plan to arrive a little early as the Library closes at 5:30 on Wednesdays. This is a special event! 

What cookbook are we using?
