Love playing games but need a space to play? Come hang out in Moyer’s program room. Bring a game, some friends, and snacks, if you’d like them. We’ll have tables and chairs ready and the AC on.

Sign up now for a flower class with Sam from The Pop Loft on Wednesday, July 31 at 6:30PM. We’ll learn about flower arranging and build beautiful bouquets. To cover the cost of flowers, we are charging $15 per person, due at sign up. Space is limited. Reserve your spot by visiting Moyer today.

Local Author Joan Broaddus Storytime: Saturday, August 3: 10:30 

We are thrilled to have Joan Broaddus read her brand new picture book Blackjack and the Spotted Mountain Lion at Moyer! Joan will read her book, share pictures of her horse Blackjack, and answer questions about writing the book. She’s also giving away a signed copy to one lucky attendee! If you have purchased a copy, she will be happy to sign it.

Text Notification Problems Continue

Unfortunately, Illinois Heartland (Moyer’s Library System) is continuing to have problems sending text notifications for holds, overdue notices, etc. They are working on this issue. We do not know when it will be resolved. 

If you would like to switch to email notifications, please stop by or call Moyer to update your account. Meanwhile, we are calling those who typically receive texts. We’re sorry for the inconvenience!

Laurel Wreaths

We are excited for the Olympics at Moyer. While waiting for the games to begin, stop by our kids craft table and make a laurel wreath. This green crown activity is perfect for practicing fine motor skills–cutting and using a glue stick–and a great thing to wear out of the library. As always, the people at the circ desk would love to see what you make before you leave.
