Join us at the library on June 20th to watch The Librarians, a documentary about book bans and censorship in public and school libraries across the US. Following the film, there will be a question and answer session and discussion. The film screening was made possible by a grant from Subject Matter.

Think the library is just books? Think again 👀

Portage Public Library is bringing the FUN—board games, video games, DVDs, Zumba classes, craft nights, euchre club, State Park passes… and honestly, so much more.

Summer programs are right around the corner, and June is about to be packed with reasons to stop in. 🎉

Go explore—you might just find your new favorite way to spend an afternoon.
