Up just in time for kids heading back to school—and even adults learning something new—is “The Magical Yet!” by Angela DiTerlizzi and illustrated by Lorena Alvarez Gómez, now on the library’s StoryWalk® in Jorgens Park Preserve! This encouraging and uplifting book reminds us that we all have things we haven’t learned … yet! … and that mastery only comes when we continue to try.

Read “The Magical Yet!” the next time you visit the StoryWalk®—and please remember to sign the library’s log book when you go!

The new Infosoup catalog is up and running, but there are a few things you'll need to do before you hop on board...

• The catalog has a new web address! If you have the old catalog bookmarked in your web browser, you'll need to delete your old bookmark, then use the new address to make a new bookmark.

• There's a new app to download too! Go to Google Play or the Apple App Store and look for "Infosoup Library."

• Log into the catalog online or through the app using your barcode number (no spaces) and your PIN (your birthday in mmddyy format, no spaces, dashes, or slashes). The usernames from the old catalog are no longer available.

• Libby users will be prompted to log into the app the first time you use it after our software migration. Use the same barcode number and PIN that you use in Infosoup.

• Any questions? Feel free to drop by the library, give us a call, or email. We're happy to help!

Links to the catalog and the apps are in the comments!

This is the last week you can read "How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You?" on the StoryWalk® in Jorgens Park Preserve! We'll have a brand new book going up next week!

As always, please take a moment to sign our log book in the box at the top of the first StoryWalk® post. We love to see how many people have visited the 'Walk, and these numbers become part of the library's annual report and assist with the library's future funding. We appreciate your support!

We’re open, and we’ve missed you! Patrons coming in today and tomorrow will receive a coupon for free ice cream cone from Shivers while supplies last. We did some cleaning, tidying, and rearranging while we were closed, so come on in and take a look!

*The new catalog debuts August 19–watch for a new mobile app to download too!
*Visit the library during our Open House/End-of-Summer party, Friday, August 21 (2–5 p.m.) & Saturday, August 22 (10 a.m.—noon) to see live demos of the catalog’s new features and enjoy eating dirt cake!
