​Let's get ready to Dive into our Summer Reading Program! Register for the Summer Reading Program, play some games, win some prizes and have fun!  Monday, June 6 from 3 - 5 PM at Algoma Public Library.

Starting March 1st, in honor of Youth Arts Month and in partnership with ArtBeet,Inc., children and families are invited to pick up a Kids Quilt Project Kit at the Algoma Public Library.

Kits will contain materials to make a paper version of a quilt block, information about quilting and it's history, and more...

Once the blocks are complete, they can be brought back to the Algoma Public Library for display.

Stop in at the Library throughout the month of March to watch our quilt grow!

It's not every day that a date that reads 2/22/2022 falls on a TUESDAY. To celebrate the day, the Algoma Public Library will have snacks, activities, and a photo-op area set up all day. Stop by the Algoma Public Library to make fun memories on this historic day. ​

We want to create another Community Art Project!  Stop in to pick up your puzzle piece to make into your own piece of art. Paint (acrylic, oil, watercolor...), collage, use mixed media, 2D, 3D, or whatever you'd like on your piece. When we have them all collected, we will mount them and display our Community Art in the library for all to see.

Check out our Community Art Project from last year which is hanging in our program room for inspiration. 

Kits available to pick up via Sign Up beginning January 3rd so we can keep track of who has a piece.

​Pieces due back by February 7.
