The Troy library will host chess games every Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. All ages and experience levels welcome. Bring yourself, a partner and your favorite board.

Sept. 1, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.: The Libby Friends of the Library are having a book sale. The entrance is on Main Street across from the post office. Stop by and check out the books, movies and music CDs. It’s a great way to support your library.

Sept. 2: Closed for Labor Day.

Sept. 5, 10 a.m.: Preschool Story Time Libby: Join us at J. Neils Memorial Park for an Elephant and Piggie adventure. Gerald is careful; Piggie is not. Gerald worries so that Piggie doesn’t have to. But Gerald and Piggie are the best of friends.

Sept. 6, 11 a.m.: Eureka Friends of the Library meet at the Eureka library. Everyone is welcomed to attend. It’s a great way to make new friends and find out how you can volunteer at your library.

Sept. 12: Closed due to state library software upgrades to the libraries.

Sept. 19, 10 a.m.: Preschool Story Time Libby: Join us at J. Neils Memorial Park for a bath time situation. Pigeon really needs a bath, except that Pigeon is not so sure about that. Besides, he took a bath last month. It’s going to take some serious convincing for Pigeon to take the plunge.

Sept. 22, 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.: The Troy Friends of the Library will sponsor a “story corner” at the Troy Farmer’s Market Apple Festival. The Troy Farmer’s Market is located next to the Troy Museum on Highway 2.

Sept. 23, 11 a.m.: Book Discussion: Join us at the Libby Library for “A Hot Drink and A Good Book,” our monthly book discussion. This month features “Born a Crime” by Trevor Noah. Follow Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid to The Daily Show. A moving yet funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love. Copies are available at the library.

Sept. 26, 10 a.m.: Preschool Story Time Libby: Join us at J. Neils Memorial Park for a monstrous time. Leonardo is a truly terrible monster — terrible at being a monster that is! No matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to frighten anyone. Leonardo soon realizes he might be an awful monster, but a really good friend.

Sept. 29: Amnesty Day: The last Friday of every month is Amnesty Day at the Lincoln County Public Libraries. Any materials less than 90 days overdue which are returned in good condition to any of the three libraries on that day will have all penalties waived. Overdue interlibrary loan materials are not included.
