TFPL News & Events - August 2025Don't forget, the Library is always open online! |
 We are nearing the end of Summer, so make the best of it with events & programs here at the Twin Falls Public Library! Drop by all month long for your favorite regular events like A Good Yarn Club, technology classes, Classic Movie Night, Game Night, Dungeons & Dragons, Open Mic Night, and more. Plus, August packs in some special events you won’t want to miss. Forktales returns on August 6 & 13 with short stories and food trucks on the Library Lawn at noon, the Master Gardeners dig into common garden issues on August 23 at 11 AM, and the Idaho Small Business Development Center hosts a one-hour start-up seminar on August 30 at 11 AM to turn your business idea into reality. Add Splashpad Storytimes, Storytime on the Library Lawn, our Retro-by-Decades Saturday Movie Matinee series, robotics basics in Intro to Technology, and a roaring (20s) discussion of The Great Gatsby in Limited Edition Book Club on August 27, and you’ve got a month packed with learning and fun.
 NOTE: Our elevator is scheduled to be out of service starting the last week of August (around August 25) while we modernize it. During the upgrade, the upper and lower floors will be stairs-only; if you need assistance retrieving materials, just let a staff member know and we’ll be happy to help. Keep reading for details on everything August has to offer and don’t forget to check our online calendar, or pick up a paper copy for the fridge, to stay on top of every event happening this month at the Twin Falls Public Library! |

 Kids, have you been to our Read to a Therapy Dog program? Once a month, wonderful dogs from the Pets Helping People Therapy Team visit the library and kids can sign up for a 10-minute slot to read out loud to one of the dogs. Studies have shown that reading out loud is a great way to improve reading comprehension and overall literacy skills. Many kids might be anxious about reading out loud in front of peers or adults because they feel they might be judged or criticized if they make mistakes. Reading out loud to a non-judgmental reading buddy like a therapy dog can put those fears at ease and boost their confidence. (Plus, who doesn’t love cuddling up with an adorable furry friend while you read a great book?) Join us for our next Read to a Therapy Dog program on August 16 at 10:30 AM! |
