Stay and Play
Did you know librarians take breaks too? We take a break from storytimes over the holidays, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come to the library! During our regular storytime hours (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10-11) we have Stay and Play instead. We set out extra toys in the storytime room and kids can do the important work of childhood: play. Stay and Play continues on the days we’re open until we begin storytimes again on January 8th. For a full calendar of events and holiday hours, click here.
Short Stuff is a book club about short stories that the library will be hosting at Cercis Brewing Company (140 N. Dickason Blvd.) on Thursday, January 17 from 7:30-8:30pm. There will be short trivia and small discussion with light appetizers provided, beverages not included but available for purchase.
Follow the pages of Ezra Jack Keats' classic "The Snowy Day" exploring winter in the city through a child's eyes as you walk through downtown Columbus. The walk begins at the Senior Center and concludes at the Library, where you can pick up a winter-themed Take & Make craft bag during our open hours!
What comes after the Public Theater's moving presentation of the play SWEAT in our town this fall? Janesville, a similar story closer to home. With a panel of locals, we will discuss the state of economic development and planning here in Columbus. Stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book and join in the conversation as we plan for our own resilient future.
