The Rules:

  1. Must be a card holding member in good standing.
  2. Only one craft per person. The child must be present with their library card.
  3. Understand that we have a limited supply and once they are gone, they are gone.

Make sure to keep an eye out for our November and December Take and Makes as well!

We may not be able to have on site programs, but we can have fun!


The Opportunity:

  • We would love for businesses or individuals to sponsor a month.
  • Or hope is to have a teen craft and a kids craft available monthly.
  • These craft kits are take and make. They are simple crafts.
  • We would love to include crafts for our older population as well.

Falling in to autumn

 We have wrapped up September and jumping into October. This year is going by amazingly fast and extremely slow at the same time. What is important is that our library is here for our community and we love seeing our patrons.

For the month of September, we have had 199 people visit our library. We have welcomed 16 new patrons. This makes us excited! We love to share our resources here at the Jennie Woodworth Library.

Our circulation in September was good:

  • 181 Books
  • 3 Audio Books
  • 18 DVDs
  • And the computers were used 38 times.


We are moving along! BTW! If you need to update your existing library card information, you can check out the link in the side bar under Patron Information (Or click here)



October is read a book month!

Now that you have your library card (if you haven't, come on in and we will get you hooked up), it's time to read! Especially with fall break upon us.
