Library - What's the Buzz

You’re never too young (or too old!) to start writing. Whether you want to entertain, teach, dream up new worlds, or rewrite history, your voice matters.

Maybe you're not sure how to begin. Maybe you don’t think you have the skills yet. That’s okay—every writer starts somewhere.

Join J. Todd McMillan, author of 9 exciting books for young readers, as he shows you how fun and easy writing can be.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have started your first masterpiece—and taken your first steps as a real writer.

Be our next Kid Librarian! Kid Librarians will have a designated shelf in the Library for their books and artwork; they also will be featured on our social media sites in pictures or videos. Share things like the books you are reading, reimagined cover art, or a video book review.

Please note, while Mondays are the only days listed, the availability is for the full week. For example, if you sign up for Monday, November 3, your child will be the star Kid Librarian for November 3-7. We also highly encourage siblings to share one week due to the popularity of the program.

We are looking for volunteers aged 14-17 to help with kids games and to perform in our Haunted Library's Spider Room / Creepy Stairwell on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

• Volunteers in the Spider Room to wear all black.
• Volunteers in the Creepy Stairwell to be comfortable performing jump scares.

Various time slots available from 4:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.
