Ongoing Events at the Library
Mondays

Join us at the Elkader Public Library for Story Time Mondays from 10:30-11:00. Our calendar year is September through May. A special Summer Reading Program is offered June through July.
We encourage preschoolers, toddlers, and babies to attend with a parent or caregiver. Fun activities include singing, marching, stories, and educational age-appropriate games. Enjoy a take-home craft with your child later.

4:00 - 5:00 pm
Join a great group of people every third Tuesday at 4:00 pm to discuss a new book each month. Ask at the circulation desk for a copy of that month's selected title or bring your own copy to that month's meeting.
3rd Wednesday
12:30 - 1:00 pm
Once a month, children are encouraged to pack a lunch and head to the Elkader Public Library to discuss the book of the month and participate in a era-relevant craft.
Note: This program is geared towards homeschooled children aged 6-11 based upon the book selection, but parents are encouraged to make the final decision.
now through 1/7
Pick-up or print out a Polar BINGO sheet and spend the month of December on a winter adventure using the magic of library materials. Patrons of all ages are encouraged to participate.
1st Saturday
10:00 - 11:00 am
BYOB or Bring Your Own Book is the perfect book group for those who are looking for a book club, but are looking for a go-your-own-way sort of one. Once a month, BYOB-ers gather and talk about the books they have recently read. It is a great way to get suggestions for new books to read.
Tuesdays
2:00 - 3:00 pm
Stop by the library to play favorites like Scrabble and Rummikub. Expect good conversation and good-natured ribbing, without the accompanying competitive nature. It's a great time that you're bound to enjoy.
