You can also keep track of your books on paper and come to the library to enter them.

Let’s show the kids that adults can read too!

We have a fun summer planned for the kids at the library. All children ages pre-school through 6^th grade will be able to earn prizes for reading and acts of kindness by playing BINGO. Some of the amazing prizes include slushies, ice-cream, pizzas, and even a boys and girls bike for the grand prize. BINGO cards (along with more instructions) are available at the library. Or you can print your own PDF copy at home. 

In addition, plan to come to the library at 10 a.m., on June 3, 10, and 17 when we will have reading, crafts, and games for the kids.  

We can’t wait to see you! 

A big thank you goes out to our sponsors: The Ritz, the Rescue, Trotters Woe & Go in Sargent, Friends of the Sargent Township Library, and Emily Jandreau for helping to organize this whole program.

Recently the Sargent library received a grant to purchase new books for our children’s non-fiction section. Even though these are non-fiction, all of the books are in a colorful graphic novel (comic book) format. Subjects range from science, technology, animals, math, and history. These are classified as “children’s books”, but many adults will also find them engaging.

We invite you to come to the library for our open house on March 19^th from 10:00 a.m. till Noon.  You can look through the books and see why kids are excited about them.  

This project is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Nebraska Library Commission.

Did you know that the Sargent Library doesn’t charge late book fines?  When someone checks out a book, it is stamped with a due date of two weeks. However, if you forget to bring it back or need extra time to finish it, that isn’t a problem.

 I do appreciate it if you let me know when it is checked out, that you will need extra time.   Otherwise, if the book is late, I may contact you to remind you to return it, but there is no fine.  Happy Reading!
