The library in Washington Court House will be open on Saturday, Jan. 2nd from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. If you’ve made New Year’s resolutions, let the library help you meet those goals! From books on fitness to fly-fishing; we have something for everyone!

Adults, join us for a no-commitment book club this year! The library hosts this meeting every other month and welcomes all readers. In 2016 we will focus on works of classic literature. On Friday, Jan. 8 at 4 p.m. we will meet to discuss To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. This introspective and strongly philosophical novel was published in 1927. It is highly acclaimed and is often cited as a key piece of 20th century literature. Meetings are held on the second floor, by the fireplace. We hope to see you!

The following week, local certified health coach, Deb Rhoads, will be hosting a series of five ”Light For My Path” discussions. These 20-minute talks are designed to provide food for thought for your mind, body, and spirit. Talks take place in the library meeting room on Thursdays at 1 p.m. beginning Jan. 14 with “DIET Really IS a Four Letter Word”. Then, the library will host another popular “Color Therapy” session on Thursday, Jan. 14 at 4:30 p.m. This popular trend is based on the belief that coloring is a great way for grown-ups to decompress. Call today and register for this FREE program; leave the rest to us!

Did you get a new toy for Christmas? Need help getting digital library materials on your Nook, Kindle, or laptop? All ages are welcome at our e-Book Drop-in sessions! Bring your device and library card; we will get you started! Sessions are from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m., on Wednesdays through January.

Our first sessions of the New Year will take place on Jan. 12 and 14 with the theme “I Can Read and Write My ABC’s!” Join us for these fun and dynamic early literacy programs!

In Jeffersonville: Every Tuesday at 11 a.m., come listen to stories, play instruments, create crafts, socialize with other little friends at Toddler Time.
