Snow what fun!

We are keeping spirits bright at your local library.

Check out the fun events we have going on in December and beyond!

Winter Book Bingo

December 1st to January 31st

Patrons of all ages are invited to compete in our Winter Book Bingo. All patrons have to do is read a library book that fits the criteria of the winter or holiday-themed squares on the card. Participants will be entered to win a $25 Amazon gift card! Come to the library to get your bingo card. Specific instructions are listed on the card.

Santa at the Library

Saturday, December 4th from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m.

Santa Claus will be visiting the library from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 4th. Tekamah Public Library Foundation will be handing out a gift to each family. We will also have a coloring table to occupy tots while they wait to tell the St. Nick their Christmas wishes.

We are asking that unvaccinated individuals over the age of two please wear a mask while waiting their turn, as social distancing may not be possible at times. Hand sanitizer and disposable masks will be available.

2021 Holiday Stroll Passport

Until December 20th

We are a stop on the 2021 Holiday Stroll Passport this year! Come to the library to pick up your passport and get a special stamp for visiting the us. Instructions on how to win $100 in Chamber Bucks is written on each passport. We are also able to collect completed passports and turn them in. This event runs until December 20th.

This event is sponsored by Tekamah Area Chamber of Commerce.

Binge Bags

We have a fun new program at the library. Patrons are able to check out a bag containing three movies and a free bag of popcorn. Spend a cold winter’s night in front of the TV with a hand-picked selection of movies. Miss Megan is a bit of a movie buff and has had a lot of fun curating these themed bags.

This program is currently a permanent addition to the library.

Polar Bear Story Time

This week our theme is polar bears! They would sure love the cold weather we have been having.

You can make your very own polar bear at home with this fun (but probably a little messy) craft. We know it’s proven fun because we have done a version of it at the library before! Check out the link below.

Chilly Story Time

It has been a cold and snowy start to January. That is normal, even if we don’t like it! We are using Story Time this week to celebrate the weather. Check out our stories and then the fun craft below.

We have foam craft kits that make cute mitten ornaments. They could be for your Christmas tree next year or a little gift for a grandparent. Come to the library and get one!
