September is Library Card Sign-Up Month
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and we’re celebrating by entering everyone who signs up for a new Lead Library card or renews their current card this month into a drawing for a special prize! Whether you’re a longtime library user or haven’t visited in a while, we invite you to stop by, make sure your card is up to date and discover something new to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you at the library this September!
Preschool Story Time

Story Time will start again on Wednesday, September 16th at 11:15 a.m. Please join us for fun stories, activities and snacks!
Homeschool Hangout
Wednesdays from 2-4 p.m.
Looking for a chance to connect with other homeschooling families? Starting September 16th, the Lead Library will open our kids’ area on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00–4:00 p.m. for an informal Homeschool Hangout. There won’t be a planned activity—just a welcoming space for kids to play, socialize, and make connections while parents have a chance to visit with other homeschooling families. Feel free to bring snacks and enjoy some time together at the library!
Craft Group
We’re excited to announce our new craft group, meeting every Tuesday from 4-6 p.m.! This informal gathering is designed for established crafters to bring their projects, work alongside fellow creatives, and enjoy a welcoming space to socialize. Whether you knit, crochet, quilt, or craft in another way, we’d love to see you there. Stop by the library this March and discover all the ways you can learn, create, and connect!
Our Craft Group is held every Tuesday from 4 – 6 p.m.

Lead Library Endowment
The Lead Library Endowment Board raises funds to go above and beyond the basics. Tax payer dollars buy the books and keep the lights on.
Some library projects we have supported:
- Children’s section update
- furniture, rugs, shelving, etc.
- Major furniture purchases including:
- new computer desks
- new circulation desk
- fireplace and comfy chairs
- Children’s programming supplies
- Don’t forget the Keurig!
But we can’t do it without your help.
