Library closing: On Monday, Jan. 18 the libraries in Washington Court House and Jeffersonville will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. For more information about Dr. King’s life and legacy visit: http://www.thekingcenter.org/archive

Adults: “Color Therapy” is back! On Thursday, Jan. 14 at 4 p.m. the library is offering this popular program once again. The 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!

Local certified health coach, Deb Rhoads, will host 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.”

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.

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 Thursday, March 10 at 5 p.m. we will meet to discuss Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Whether it is your first reading or your fifth, we would love to talk about this book with you! Meetings are held on the second floor, by the fireplace. We hope to see you!
