    Monday December 3, January 7 & February 4 @ 6:00 PM


    Prepare for a 'tail wagging' reading extravaganza as Rein the Dog and her dad help us 'paw' our way to becoming better readers. It's not 'ruff!' All you have to do is sign up for one of the 15 minute sessions, grab a book, cuddle up and read! Reading to Rein can help your child gain more confidence in his or her reading ability and change reading from a chore to a delight!

Don Davenport Memorial Music Series

Fall 2018

We at the library recently lost our beloved friend, colleague, mentor, and Board President, Don Davenport. He was a man of many talents and interests, and one of his greatest passions was music. Don had been a clarinetist in the University of Michigan Marching Band and the Belle Valley Band and Michiwinds Chamber group. In Don's memory we will be hosting a music performance series showcasing area musicians, including Halla and Madison Hilborn on the violin and viola; singer, songwriter, and guitarist Cal Whitmore; and the Michiwinds Chamber Ensemble. Please stop by to enjoy the beautiful music and share memories of Don.

September 29, 1:00 - 2:00 pm      The Hilborns: Violin & Viola
October 20, 1:00 - 2:30 pm           Cal Whitmore: Guitar
November 28, 6:00 - 7:30 pm       Michiwinds Chamber Ensemble: Flute & Clarinets
