ARCANUM – The cold weather is upon us, and the Arcanum Public Library reminds patrons of the available items to them for indoor time. Of course, there are books; plenty of them.

The collection includes large print books, and books on CD. The library also has a great selection of movies and television series, with new ones added frequently. In addition, there are board games that can be checked out, and several brand new STEM building kits to take home. Hotspots are available that adults can check out in order to pick up WIFI while at home.

Patrons should note the library will be closed on Dec. 24 and 25, and also on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

StoryTime will resume on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 10 a.m. This is a great weekly program for preschoolers that includes stories, songs, and other activities.
