February is Love Your Library Month! |
|
It's Love Your Library month, and the Friends of the Mercer Public Library have planned some fun activities and displays to help you make the most of it!
Stop by to pick up a Reading Challenge tic-tac-toe card, tell us why you love your library and get one of our adorable ❤️ bear stickers, or take a chance on a 'blind date with a book.' You might just find a new literary love! There are plenty of ways to show your love for the library, too. Visit our website for more details.
Ultimately, though, the best way to show that you value your library is to use it! Stop by and check out some items, attend a program, use our digital collections... it all adds up.
Happy February, everyone! Hope we'll see you soon,
Teresa Schmidt

Knitting at the library
An informal group of knitters, crocheters, and other crafters will meet at the library on Tuesday mornings (note the schedule!) at 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. All are welcome to drop in! Bring a work in progress, show off your completed projects, or just enjoy the company of your fellow crafters.

Library Covid policies

Our WiFi network is available 24/7 and is accessible from the parking lot and our outdoor seating area.
