Pagemasters is Archbold's newest bookclub!
It's new! It's inclusive! It's free-form! It's casual! It's not your typical book club!
What Pagemasters is all about:
It's a flexible, safe space to discuss, read, and make connections. It's welcome to all readers and all books! Pagemasters meets once a month to unwind and take a break from the daily grind. Join us for good people and good books!

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?
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.
