Noon Year's Eve Party

Why wait until midnight? Ring in the New Year early with us at the library! Families are invited to join us for a fun-filled countdown to noon with music, crafts, and lots of celebration. We’ll make party hats and noise makers, then count down together as the clock strikes 12 (in the afternoon!). Perfect for little ones who can’t stay up late but still want to celebrate in style.

Our guests of honor, the 2025 1000 Books Project finishers, will also be celebrated and awarded their medals.
