Weather Safety Program Thursday, Aug 22, 2019!
What's one of the few things we all have in common?
We all wonder about the weather.
Regular weather we're all pretty good at, but when was the last time you refreshed on your storm safety? With all of this stormy weather we've had this year and what's to come, it might not be a bad idea!
Join us this Thursday, August 22nd, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., to learn what you should do in different weather and how to spot it. This presentation will be given by NOAA and NWS meteorologist, Jared Maples.
We hope you can find the time to join us!
Girls Who Code at the Millstadt Library
Teach a girl to code, and she’ll change the world. Girls Who Code, an award winning, nation-wide program that teaches girls how to code has found a new home, your Millstadt Library!

Our Knitters could use some yarn!
Knitting Night is THE place to be!
Every Tuesday from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, join us to learn to knit, knit your project with others, or come to crochet or cross-stitch on your own projects as well.
Due to its' popularity, though, we are short on supplies. If you happen to have any extra yarn or needles that need a good home, we'd love to help you clean house. Thank you and we hope you can come out and join us!
Summer Reading Program is coming to a close!
This is the last week for the #MillstadtLibrarySummerReadingProgram!
Turn in your reading logs by the 27th, or this Saturday, to take home a weekly prize which is one of any of the prizes from the previous weeks including Grizzlies tickets, free ice cream from Casey's, or even a free skate at Fun Spot.
The more books you read, the more entries you have for a grand prize of your choosing. Winners will be drawn on Monday, the 29th!
Book Club this Saturday!

The Summer Reading Program is here!
This year, the Millstadt Library is taking reading outdoors. For grades Kindergarten through 8th, children can come by the Library to pick up a weekly reading log. After reading age-appropriate books, the log can be returned that week for a weekly prize. The more books you read, the more chances you have to win a grand prize. Our grand prizes this year are a mini tablet with a case and headphones, a Harry Potter box-set, a camping kit including tent, sleeping bag, and lantern/flashlight set, and our Millstadt Rocks! prize that contains gift cards and items from places all around town!
It’s important that children continue to read throughout the summer to help fight the summer gap and maintain their comprehension skills. Check out our FB page @MillstadtLibrary and our website, www.millstadt-library.org to learn more about our Summer Reading Program and our prizes. Feel free to give us a call or stop by for more information. Good Luck, and Good Reading!

Book Club!
Citizens, welcome to Book Club. The first rule of Book Club is: You do not talk about Book Club. The second rule of Book Club is: You do not talk about Book- Wait, actually you do!
Love reading books but have no one to discuss them with? Want to get into reading but don’t know where to start? Starting June 1st and held on the first Saturday of each month, the Millstadt Library Book Club will take place! We’ll provide the books and the Club will be led by Jennifer Gratteau. We’ll provide tea and you can provide the “T” on the books!
The first meeting will be informational and you will all decide how the Book Club is established and which book (we will have some ready) you will all start with. And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first time at Book Club, you have to read!
