All events are free and open to the public.

Feeling the winter blues? The Libby Library can help. In partnership with the Libby Friends of the Library, the Libby Library presents “Light Reading,” a new program to provide full spectrum light therapy lamps for public use throughout the winter. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is estimated to affect up to 10 million Americans every year, and the standard treatment is at least 30 minutes under a light therapy lamp. To enjoy the program, no diagnosis is required.

The weather is changing and it might be time to “Come in from the Cold”. Every Saturday morning at the Libby library, warm up with a cup of locally roasted coffee and homemade pastries. Sit, relax, enjoy the company of others or simply read the newspaper. Coffee is provided by Camp Creek Coffee and pastries are donated by the Libby Friends of the Library.

As always, Preschool Story Time will be at the Libby Library on Tuesdays at 10:15 a.m., the Troy Library on Thursdays at 11:15 a.m.; and the Eureka Library on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m.. Chess games will be every Saturday at the Troy Library from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
