School Vacation Week Fun
Join us on Friday, February 20 at 10:30 AM for a special Winter Celebration Storytime & Craft. We’ll share cozy winter stories, followed by a fun, hands-on craft—perfect for little ones looking to play, create, and warm up with some library fun during the break.
Stop by the West Dennis Library February 15–22 for a drop-in Winter Scavenger Hunt just for kids. We’ve hidden 11 winter-themed items all around the library. Littles can focus on finding all the items, while more advanced sleuths can take it a step further and crack the riddle: What did one snowflake say to the other snowflake?
Find the items, solve the riddle, and win a prize—it’s that simple! Perfect for all ages, this self-guided activity is a fun way to explore the library, stay busy, and add a little frosty fun to vacation week.
Drop in anytime during the week and let the hunt begin!
Share the Love: February Drives for Our Neighbors in Need
The holidays may be over, but the need is still great. By February, donations often slow down—yet many of our neighbors still need warm coats and full pantries. Help us Share the Love with two community drives supporting Hands of Hope Food Pantry & Outreach Center and the West Dennis Community Church.
Winter Coat Drive:
New and gently used winter coats for all ages are needed.
Food Drive (Most-Needed Items):
Crackers, cookies, tea & coffee • Boxed mashed potatoes • Brownie or quick bread mix • Cooking oil • Baked beans • Jam or jelly • Canned meats & fish (Spam, chicken, Vienna sausage, salmon, tuna, sardines) • Flour • Potatoes, carrots, onions, apples • Pasta sauce & spaghetti • Chef Boyardee, hash, chili
Every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping care for our neighbors this winter!
The Library Will Be Closed on Presidents' Day, Monday February 16th
The Original Book Club Meets on Wednesday, February 18th
Join us on Wednesday, February 18th at 2:00 PM for The Original Book Club! This month we’re reading The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi Durrow, a debut novel praised as “hauntingly beautiful” and “provocative.” Winner of the Bellwether Prize for fiction addressing social justice, it’s been celebrated for its taut prose, vivid characters, and thoughtful exploration of race and identity.
All are welcome to join us. Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the group, come share your insights and enjoy a rich, thought-provoking discussion!
