Our mission is service. One of the best ways we serve our community is through our programs and events. We have events for all ages. Explore storytime sessions for kids, teen council meetings, or book clubs for adults. Use the calendar to find events for the entire family. Check back for events, special sessions, and opportunities to get involved with the Library and your community!
We’d love for you and your family to come join the fun and learning that is happening at our Library! Our events calendar is always busy with events, classes, courses, book clubs, gatherings, and more. Take a moment to check out our online calendar and see upcoming events for all ages.
Join the librarians as they create an appropriate atmosphere for toddler learning using the five early literacy practices: reading, writing, playing, singing, and talking! Ages 12 - 35 months. Register your child for each session you want to attend.
Time: 9:30am - 10:00am Location: Mayfield RoomAARP is offering free tax help to patrons with low to moderate income, special attention to those 60 and older. LIMITED SPACE, REGISTRATION REQUIRED, YOU MUST HAVE A RESERVATION. Those filing joint returns should only make one reservation; couples filing separately are asked to reserve different slots. Appointments can be made for any Monday starting February 02, 2025, and ending on April 06, 2025. Appointments begin at 9:30AM with the last appointment starting at 12:30PM. Waitlists are available, but only those with confirmed reservations will be seen. The IRS was directed to reduce or eliminate paper refund checks to taxpayers. If you choose paper refund checks, it may take 6-12 weeks to get their refund. Please bring your checkbooks or direct deposit information to the appointment. Additional information can be obtained at: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-to-phase-out-paper-tax-refund-checks-starting-with-individual-taxpayers. This site also includes information to aid the taxpayer in setting up an account for direct deposit. AARP will meet with taxpayers and conduct a brief interview as taxpayers drop off relevant documents with AARP. Taxpayers will then wait in another area of the Library while AARP finishes preparing the returns. A short time later, taxpayers will reconvene with AARP to sign their documents and pick up their copy of the return. Copies of AARP-relevant documents may be retrieved in advance or day-of from the Whitestown Branch library by asking staff at the main service desk. They are also attached below.
Time: 9:30am - 10:30am Location: Community RoomJoin us for our first seminar of the season, “The Journey of Living to 100: A New Reality.” As more people live into their 90s and beyond, longevity is becoming the new reality. But what does that really mean—for our health, independence, and the way we plan for the future? In this presentation, we approach aging both realistically and boldly, celebrating those who thrive well into their later years, while acknowledging the realities faced by many in various stages along the way. We’ll explore the long-held beliefs, the myths, and the truths about longevity. This includes the good news of living longer and healthier lives, the challenges no one likes to talk about, and practical strategies to stay independent as long as possible while preparing for support if and when it’s needed. We will hone in on five of the most predictable dilemmas associated with getting older: • Where will I live? • How can I best manage my health? • How will I cope by myself? • What should I do about money? • What is the right way to say goodbye? Whether you’re planning for yourself or helping others, this first session of the 2025 Senior Living Series season will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to embrace the opportunities of living a longer life.
