February Break Activities

There's something for everyone during the February school break:

On Mon. Feb. 21st at 10:00am we will be showing the movie "Shrek Forever After". Longing for the days when he was a 'real ogre,' Shrek signs a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to get his roar back, but turns his world upside down in the process. Donkey suddenly can't remember his best friend, Fiona is now a tough warrior princess, and Puss in Boots is one fat cat! Together, they have just 24 hours to reverse the contract and restore happily forever after.


Bring along a snack and a drink and see if they succeed. No registration is required for this program.


On that same day, Mon. Feb. 21st at 3:00pm the owners of Victor's new comic book store, Two Kings Comics, will be at the library discussing Comics: Past, Present and Future. They"ll be talking about the history of comics, how they've changed over the years and what we have to look forward to in the future. This program is recommended for kids and adults, ages 8 and up. No registration is required.
