There are still spots open for tomorrow's 11am and 11:30am Traveling Animal Tales (best for 6 and under) and for the 5:30pm Zoo Mobile (best for ages 6 and up). These programs bring the Great Plains Zoo to the library, and they're a great chance to get up close to some super cool animals.

We are now accepting book donations on Mondays and Wednesdays during normal hours! 🥳

Why the specific days? This helps to make sure we have enough staff on hand to process donations (and to say thank you to all of the wonderful people who donate to us!). This will hopefully make the donation process easier for everyone.

We know this is a change, so we appreciate your understanding and patience! We are also currently only accepting books for our physical item donations, as we are currently full on our puzzles, games, and DVDs (a great problem to have!).

Questions? Feel free to reach out to us at 605-767-7910 or at [email protected].
