What's new in March? 

Stop by and celebrate 20 years of library service! Twenty years ago Creswell Library moved from a volunteer library to an official public library! Swing by between 1pm-3pm on March 14th, 2026 for door prizes, crafts for kids, cake, and to show your support for our little library. 

Thursdays for Kids

We have four events this month for kids!

3/5 at 3:30pm - Spring Paint Party

Celebrate the coming of spring with artistic flair! Decorate wooden window clings with paint pens and bring some sunshine to those rainy days. 

3/12 at 3:30pm - LEGO Club 

Join us for LEGO building awesomeness! Each child who completes a project will get to put it on display in the library until the next LEGO Club.

3/19 at 3:30 pm - Full STEAM Ahead! - ​Coding with OZO Bots

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! You can use some—or all—of these skills at our monthly STEAM events.

Are you interested in coding? Try out screen-free coding using markers, paper, and a programmable robot!

 

 

3/26 at 3:30 pm - Melty Beads

Place your beads, melt, repeat! Come to the library with a design you want to make or choose from some of the many examples!

Tuesdays for Kids

3/10 and 3/24 at 3:30 - Reading Buddies

We’re teaming up with Blue Barn Sanctuary to bring you Reading Buddies! Come join us for a cozy reading time with stuffies and bunnies. Did you know that reading to animals (even stuffed ones!) helps kids feel relaxed and supported?

Each session will have plenty of cuddly stuffed animals to read to, helpful volunteers, and—on most days—Blue Barn’s own superstar, Theodore Von Tater Tot!

 

 

PreK Storytime  – Thursdays at 10:00am

Join us for fun books, songs, and rhymes!! This storytime is intended for children in preschool, but all kids and their families are welcome to join. We shoot for about 30 minutes of fun, but sometimes we go a little long and sometimes just a tad short. Afterward, we will all do a fun craft. 

Babytime  – Tuesdays at 10:00am 

Join us on Tuesdays for songs, fingerplays, lap bounces, scarves, egg shakers, stories, and bubbles! This storytime is 20 minutes long so we can wrap up before the littles get too squirmy.

Book Clubs

Middle-Grade Book Club

Middle Grade Book Club (ages 10-13) meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 4pm and goes for about 45 minutes. It always includes a simple activity relating to the story. 

We will meet at the library on 3/3 at 4pm to chat about "The Real Boy". 

Our next book is "I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition) " by Malala Yousafzai! We will talk about this memoir on 4/7.

 Read more about this book here: 

I Am Malala. This is my story.

Malala Yousafzai was only ten years old when the Taliban took control of her region. They said music was a crime. They said women weren't allowed to go to the market. They said girls couldn't go to school.
Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan transformed by terrorism, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. So she fought for her right to be educated. And on October 9, 2012, she nearly lost her life for the cause: She was shot point-blank while riding the bus on her way home from school.
No one expected her to survive.
 

Now Malala is an international symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner. In this Young Readers Edition of her bestselling memoir, reimagined specifically for a younger audience and including exclusive photos and material, we hear firsthand the remarkable story of a girl who knew from a young age that she wanted to change the world—and did.

Malala's powerful story will open your eyes to another world and will make you believe in truth, hope, miracles and the possibility that one person—one young person—can inspire change in her community and beyond.
