September at the library

Starting in September, stop by the front desk to grab our your free spice with recipe! While supplies last.

 Smoked paprika hails from Spain, which is why you’ll also sometimes see it listed as Spanish paprika or Pimentón de la Vera, which translates to paprika of the La Vera. This is a district in Western Spain that is famous for its drying and smoking red peppers over an oak fire, then grinding them. The result of this unique process is a vibrantly red spice that’s deliciously smoky in flavor. 

Story Time is back and this month, it's SLEEPOVER THEMED! Wear your pajamas, bring your stuffed animal, and get ready to sing, dance, and read some sleepover stories! Then, leave your stuffed animal with the librarians for their own sleepover at the library. We'll take pictures of the stuffed animals doing silly library things, and then pick them up the next day or whenever you can.
