Teen Advisory Board, Wednesday September 27th at 6pm

Are you looking to get involved in your community? Do you want to have input into what programming and materials the library offers? Then join the Teen Advisory Board! The goal of TAB is to work together to create a welcoming environment for teens at the library. Meetings will take place the last Wednesday of the month and there will be additional opportunities to volunteer throughout the year. For more information, see the website, stop in the library, or email the youth librarian, Jennifer Pickles, at jpickles@southgate.lib.mi.us.

Kiwanis Storywalk Ribbon Cutting
Saturday, September 23rd at 11am

Thanks to a generous donation from Kiwanis of Southgate, and to the hard work of our Department of Public Services who installed it, we are ready to unveil a Storywalk! This is a permanent installation of 12 signs, each of which will contain part of a story, that circles the library. Walk the path, read the story, and follow the instructions for some fun! Stories will be updated every few months.

The ribbon cutting will take place in front of the library, near the main entrance. Kids who come to walk the path during the event will receive a free book, courtesy of Kiwanis of Southgate! We hope you can join us in celebrating this new addition to the library.
