Greetings and more exciting news from the Great Bend Public Library! The money we received from the Carnegie Corporation will not only be used to revamp our lighting system, but also to update some of our seating. We will be sure to make an announcement when our four brand new couches are here and ready to be tested out.

And now back to our regularly scheduled library events. In addition to Genealogy Thursday at 11 a.m. today, April 2, we also have Delicious Dishes at 6 p.m. Learn how to whip up a variety of spring crostini to take to your upcoming Easter feast!

Friday evening is our next Adults’ Night Out Movie at 7 p.m. In Wes Anderson’s newest film, “Wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda appoints his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins (IMDb).” The north doors will be open from 6:45-7:15 p.m. to allow entry for moviegoers.

We have a full day of events on Tuesday, starting with Early Literacy Story Time at 10:30 a.m. This is an active time for little learners featuring early literacy skills, picture books, finger plays, songs, rhymes, music, art, and movement.

Do you have specific tech questions about your computer or phone? We can help! Bring your device by the Reference Desk starting at 11 a.m. for Tech Tuesday.

Lastly, at 4 p.m. on Tuesday we have Teen Café: Back to Kindergarten edition. Revisit your childhood and de-stress with some kid classics, including story time, macaroni art, and more.
