So What's Happening This Month?

You do know what happens when the kids start back to school, don't you? It's that mad rush into the holidays and the end of the year. Before you know it all types of events will be popping up that you or the kids will want to attend. While we won't have ALL of them listed, you might want to check our Community Calendar of area events every so often to see what's coming up.

And if you're in charge of advertising/scheduling for your group/organization you can drop off a flier for your event and we'll be glad to add it to our website.

NJWTPL Area Events/Community Calendar

We're Keeping Track for You

It never hurts to advertise in advance, but if it’s done too early people can easily forget something they really want to attend.  Just the other day I added the month of August to the list of Area Events on our website (https://sites.google.com/njwtpl.org/njwtpl/area-events-community-calendar/june-july-august?authuser=0)  to include the Bluejay Basketball Golf Outing on 8/17 (you do need to register for the Golf Outing in advance).

And oh my gosh, during the month of June the days have been packed!  While some of the items are recurring events – our Summer Reading Programs; Moving Starke County Forward: 100 miles in 100 Days; Vacation Bible schools; Food Breakfast/Lunch Programs; NJ Kiwanis; TOPS; AA meetings; NA meetings; etc. – some of them are one-time only events.  And you wouldn’t believe how busy Thursdays were, I’ve counted up to 13 different things! 

I’ve checked our Community Calendar (https://sites.google.com/njwtpl.org/njwtpl/area-events-community-calendar?authuser=0) and July is looking a bit calmer, Thursdays only have 11 events listed.  But the Starke County 4-H Fair starts on July 13^th with the Dog Show (Obedience and Showmanship) and runs through the 20^th.  And there’s the Kid’s Closet Fundraiser, Bass Lake Festival, and Tippy-Tri Challenge along with those regularly scheduled weekly and monthly events. 

And if you’re interested there are plenty of festivals happening outside of Starke County (https://sites.google.com/njwtpl.org/njwtpl/indiana-festival-guide/june-july?authuser=0).  Right now, we only have regional listings through the end of July, but that’s 29 area festivals you might find interesting. 

The web addresses won’t be exactly the same for the Area Events and Indiana Festival Guide when we change the name of the page by adding the next month.  But you just need to remember to visit us at www.njwtpl.org and browse our pages to find an assortment of interesting things.

We've Started A Community Calendar

It took some time to enter the information, but as of November 7th we've added a Community Calendar to the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library  website. You'll find it listed in the directory to the left of the page under "Starke County Activities."

We hope you will make use of it to see what's happening locally, and that you will contact us with information about your organization's plans and events. You can send your information to: lib.norjud@gmail.com.
