TFPL News & Events - Month YearDon't forget, the Library is always open online! |
 Hello, September! We hope everyone is enjoying the cooler mornings getting used to the back-to-school routine. There's a lot happening this month at your Library. First off: our elevator will be undergoing maintenance starting September 2nd. During the project, the lower (Youth Services & Program Room) and top floors are stair-access only. If stairs aren’t an option, please ask a library staff member for help and we’ll retrieve whatever you need. Don't forget, you can always place items on hold to have them ready for pickup on the main level (or for Curbside Pickup). We also offer Library Delivery service and will bring items right to your door. Thanks for your patience while we improve the building. We’re excited to partner with Magic Valley Comic Con on Saturday, September 13: where we'll screen How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World at 2:30 pm, then welcome Justin Rupple (the voice of Tuffnut) for a Q&A at 4:30 pm and selfies afterward. Drop your questions in the box during the movie. You’ll also find us at the Twin Falls fairgrounds for Magic Valley Comic Con (September 13–14). More highlights this month include The Empowered Caregiver Series w/ the Alzheimer's Association, Saturday Matinees, Classic Movie Night on Monday, September 8 at 6:00 pm with The Parent Trap, our outdoor Volunteer & Club Fair on Saturday, September 27 (11:00 am–1:30 pm), and September’s All-Ages Reading Challenge: read a book with a red, yellow, or orange cover for a chance at a prize (enter code 7b1d2 on the ReaderZone App, or stop by the library for a paper entry form). Don’t miss our regular events all month like storytimes, teen events, book clubs, game night, tech classes, and genealogy workshops. Keep reading for more library news and find more info on all our events on our online calendar! P.S. The Library is closed Monday, September 1 for Labor Day. |

 Kick off the school year by bringing your child to one of our great book clubs! Not sure how book clubs work? Each month, grab a copy of the book as soon as it’s announced so that your child has time to read it before we meet. We buy 5 copies of each book, but once they’re gone, we can put a copy on hold from any of the libraries we share with. We often use books that are available on eaudio and ebook format through Libby if your child would rather read that way. As they read, encourage them to think of questions or talking points. The hotter the opinions, the better the conversation! At the book club itself, we’ll talk about context, characters, plot, go over any vocabulary words the kids didn’t understand, eat a snack from the book, and do an activity. It’s always animated and it’s always fun! Here’s when you can join in… |
