Summer Library Program in full swing at libraries

NCW - Welcome Back. We are so excited by the enthusiastic start to our Summer Library Program. More people  signed up in the first week of the program than in all of last summer — by far. Attendance at our in-person and virtual programs has been phenomenal. Thank you for spending your summer with us! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late! Sign up online or in-person at your community library to receive an activity pack and be eligible for prize drawings at the end of the summer.

Join us at the Library. All of our libraries now offer regular in-person programs  for all ages. Relax with Zentangle at Chelan. What is Zentangle? Learn how to create beautiful non-representational images using simple and purposeful marks with this fun, easy-to-learn, and meditative method. Zentangle is not simply doodling. Supplies provided by Chelan FOL.

New Bookmobile Stops. Our two community bookmobiles have added new stops this summer to bring library services to more people in our library district. In addition to their usual stops, they are now visiting the Malaga Market and Valley Hi in Chelan County, Crescent Bar and Colockum Ridge Golf Course in Grant County, Brewster Boys & Girls Club and Nespelem in Okanogan County, and Inchelium and Keller in Ferry County.

These mobile libraries bring all the materials you find in our branch libraries — books, DVDs, music, craft kits, and more. You can also pick up your holds, drop off returns, connect to free Wi-Fi, and sign up for the Summer Library Program. Do you know of an isolated rural community in Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan, or Ferry County that would benefit from a monthly bookmobile visit? Please contact us at bookmobiles@ncwlibraries.org.

Explore Science With Us.
Our STEM staff are bringing science fun to all 30 branch libraries this summer. From launching rockets and aerospace engineering to wildlife biology and animal tracking to geology and geodes, we invite you to step off the beaten path and explore the wild world of STEM.

Join us for STEM at the Library. Our STEM staff will take their exciting summer science show on the road at part of our Summer Library Program. Explore Beyond the Beaten Path which kicked off June 14 and will make stops at all of our library locations at least once throughout the summer months. From launching rockets and aerospace engineering to wildlife biology and animal tracking to geology and fossils and geodes, our STEM librarians Ash and Buffy will help you step off the beaten path and explore the wild world of STEM!
