Adults

The Friends of the Archbold Community Library are hosting a book sale in the community room of the library during regular business hours.

What will we be selling? A little bit of everything! Kids' books and books for teens, as well as audiobooks and DVDs. We also have nonfiction and fiction for adults sorted into genres to make it easier for you to find what you love! We have westerns, mysteries, large print, religious fiction, and science fiction!

Prices? Free-will donation!

Join percussionist Lori Fithian for "Drummunity!" at the Ruihley Park pavilion on Thursday, June 1st at 11 am.

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

No experience necessary; FUN for the whole family!

The Library is teaming up with local authors to present a new annual program: "Shop Small Saturday with Local Authors" so that they can share with the world what they love most: BOOKS!

Eleven local authors will get the chance to speak about their latest works, sell them to the public, and sign books for those who are interested. This event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 26th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Archbold Community Library's Community Room. 

Registration has begun for story times (designed for 2 year olds with a caregiver present) and story hours (for 3-5 year olds not yet in kindergarten).

Come to the next meeting of our newest adult book club: "Classics Book Club." What defines a classic? (Hint! It's open to interpretation!) Join us as we read through the novels that modern literature was built upon. Instead of us all reading the same thing and answering discussion questions as in a traditional library book club, we'll each get to booktalk and discuss our individual choices. 

Come to the book club meeting having read some classic. 

Can't think of what to read? Let our library staff give you some options.

We hope to see you there!
