Teens and adults are cordially invited to attend our Bridgerton Tea Party on Saturday, April 11 at 11:00 am! Inspired by the popular Netflix series Bridgerton—a romantic, drama-filled show set in Regency-era England known for its elegant fashion, high society, and lavish social events—this gathering will bring a touch of that charm to the library. Guests are encouraged to dress up and enjoy tea, delectable treats, Regency-era music, and casual instruction in English Country Dance. It’s a delightful way to step back in time and experience a bit of historical elegance and fun! Register online at our Facebook page or call 765-478-3335 to register.

Progress on the Library of Things continues as we expand and improve our collection! We now have a streamlined jigsaw puzzle cataloging system, thoughtfully designed by Rachel to make it quick and easy to add new puzzles and check them out with minimal hassle. We’re excited to keep growing this collection and providing even more hands-on resources for our community!

 

We are pleased to announce two new appointments to the library’s Board of Trustees. Western Wayne Schools has appointed Kim Pattison to a four-year term beginning May 1, 2026, and the Wayne County Commissioners have appointed Bryan Owens to a four-year term beginning April 1, 2026. We warmly welcome Kim and Bryan and look forward to their leadership and support of the library.

 

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Elaine Potter, as her term will end in April. We thank Elaine for her many years of dedicated service and commitment to the library and our community. Her contributions have made a lasting impact, and she will be greatly appreciated as she concludes her time on the Board.
