Library December Events

December is another busy month at the Churchill County Library. Stop by often and enjoy the education.

In-person “Storytime with Ms. Jes” is offered Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. Children’s Librarian Jeslyn MacDiarmid reads picture books to the children and offers a craft to accompany most stories. Each session is recorded and posted to the library’s YouTube account for on-demand viewing at your convenience.
For the most fun, drop in for Reading with Rover on December 8 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Children read books to dogs to improve their reading skills and confidence to a decidedly captive audience.
