Library Halloween Party

All manner of costumed mortals from preschool through 5th grade are invited to the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library on October 24th for our annual Halloween Party.

Sign-up for costume judging will begin at 10:15 a.m. and will end at 10:50 a.m., judging will be at 11 a.m. After a parade through town to show off the costumes, the winners will be announced.

Then from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. there will be a Goblin Game Grove for younger or more sensitive visitors, and – for those brave enough – our annual Haunted House.

Create/Donate a Fleece Blanket

Interested in learning how to tie a fleece blanket? A class is forming at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library for November 3rd at 6:30 p.m.

Price is $10 and you need to bring your own materials. However, if you make two blankets and donate one of them for this year’s Angel Tree, you will get a discount.

Call Vicky Reetz at 574-896-2841 for more details.

READ Fur Me, Jr.


Hooowdy, my name is Anubis and I would like to share some of my favorite books with you.

Starting in September I will be part of a new program for dog lovers from preschool through 2nd grade called “READ Fur Me, Jr.”

Join me at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. I’ve arranged for someone to read you some of the books I have enjoyed as part of the regular “READ Fur Me” program.

Be sure you sign up so we can keep track of how many sessions you attend. When all the spaces on your card have been punched by the staff, you’ll get to pick something out of the treat drawer and my mommy promises there won’t be any old bones.

At least, there won’t be any old bones for you!!!
