👸🏽Friday Story Time🐲

Bring your kids to the library every Friday at 11 AM. We’ll dive into a variety of exciting stories, followed by activities and creative crafts that bring the tales to life. It’s the perfect way to spark imagination, learn new things, promote early literacy, and make new friends. We look forward to seeing you there!

📚 Summer Reading🎮

We are so excited for Level Up at Your Library, our summer reading theme this year!

We’ll use the Level Up at Your Library theme for our weekly crafts, activities, games, and prizes to show kids that libraries are not just for learning but also for fun. Summer reading programs help kids stay engaged with reading, preventing the “summer slide”. Kids will be able to track their reading progress online or on paper.

We also have exciting events planned! Join us for Harmonica Pocket on June 18, the Pegasus Puppet Theatre on August 6, and Magician Brian Ledbetter on August 28.

Stop by the library any time after May 27 to sign up and get your cool summer reading T-shirt (while supplies last).

Thank you to the Rotary Club of La Conner for their generous sponsorship of our summer reading program.

 Spring and Summer at the Library

The library is looking forward to a busy spring and summer, and we would love to have you join us!

We are looking for volunteers to help us with a variety of tasks from grounds care to shelving books and assisting with program prep. We have opportunities for people of all skills and abilities. Use this link to access our volunteer application: volunteer application or stop by the library to pick one up.

Starting in early summer, our 3D printers will finally be ready for public use. Many of you have seen them working in the library as staff learn how to use them to print all kinds of fun things, and now we are excited to teach everyone what a 3D printer can do.

Summer is also the perfect time to curl up in the sun or at the beach with a good book.  Check out our great selection of staff picks to find the perfect summer read!

We look forward to seeing you all at the library.

Gratitude

Last year’s Tiny Trees event raised critical funds to bridge technology gaps and ensure equitable access for all at the La Conner Swinomish Library. With huge thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, auction donors, volunteers, and everyone who attended, we have made significant progress in enhancing our technology resources and services.

Your impact is making a difference!
- LinkedIn Learning: Patrons can now access professional development courses, empowering lifelong learning.
- Staff Upgrades: New computers allow staff to better support patrons.
- Transparency: A new board website powered by Diligent, a platform which helps ensure Open Public Meeting Act compliance, will foster public trust.
- 3D Printing: Equipment is nearly ready for patron use, offering hands-on innovation.
-Laptops for patron use: Laptops will soon expand digital access at the library.

As we look forward to this year’s Tiny Trees (more on that next month!), we celebrate how your contributions turn shared goals into reality. Thank you, truly, for your meaningful support of the La Conner Swinomish Library!

With Gratitude,
Sarah Rabel
La Conner Library Foundation
