We're at the Farmers Market getting ready to open in just a few minutes! Looking for fresh produce, handcrafted items, cut flowers, baked goods, soaps and lotions, Pampered Chef (and MORE)? Stop by and then stop at the Library table for a fun kids game or craft! Don't worry about road construction this morning – – it's still easy access!

Thank you to all who participated in our Plant a Seed, Read Summer Program! We had so much fun watching the flowers gain petals and the tree blossom as more and more minutes came in. We ended with 92,822 minutes which is 64 days of nonstop reading!

Reminder! If your child has already turned in all 4 goal slips stop in and pick up their certificate and a free book!

Did you know that Tonies and Tonieboxes are available for checkout at the Perham Area Public Library? We just added a new batch of Tonie characters and audiobooks to our collection! Do you have a favorite Tonie? Or a suggestion on ones we should add next? Let us know!

Tonies are innovative, screen-free audio players designed to bring audio stories, music, and learning to life for kids of all ages. Have questions? Don't hesitate to reach out, or stop in to the library to try one out for yourself!

For all of our Hoopla users out there! Over the past few days there have been reports of problems when opening the Hoopla app on various devices. The problem seems to affect iPhone and iPad users most. The probelm has been reported to Hoopla and they have responded that they are working on a permanent fix to go out in a future update. In the meantime the fastest way to get you back up and running is to follow this process:
1 Uninstall the Hoopla app
2 Turn your device off and wait 30 seconds
3 Turn your device back on
4 Reinstall the Hoopla app from your app store

This shouldn't affect your account, your saved titles or your borrowing history and you should be back up and running in a few minutes after the reinstall. Sorry for the inconvenience and let us know if you continue to have problems after following the process above.
