Isn't every month Library Lover's month?

Teen library volunteers help make a seniors day!

Thanks to the many teen volunteers who bagged items for homebound senior "meal on wheel" participants.  This holiday gift bag was provided courtesy of the Gleaner's Homer Twp. Oak Arbor, an organization that supports the community in many ways.  Local donations from businesses allowed the recipients to receive a holiday surprise.

Thank you all!

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

We've just initiated a free program that really puts the emphasis on family time and reading together.

Did you know that by reading just three stories a day you and your child will have read OVER 1,000 books in one year?  You will also have shared many special moments along the way and developed favorite family stories.

It's so easy to participate!  Come to Homer Library to register and then start reading.  You can fill in circles on your reading log and books read at daycare count, stories read twice in one day, books read at any story time program count...we've made it fun, easy, and provided cool incentives/rewards along the way.

Come in and check it out.  Reading readiness is an important Kindergarten concept and this program supports your child's imagination and growth to enjoying stories, books and of course, the Library!

The smartest choice is your library!

A "Library Friend?" What the heck is that?

The definition of "friend" as per the Merriam-Webster online dictionary is:

1: one attached to another by affection or esteem 2: acquaintance 3: one that is not hostile 4: one that is of the same nation, party, or group 5: one that favors or promotes something (as a charity) 5: a favored companion.


The Homer Township Library Friends are, by my own definition:

1. amazing supporters of books and literacy
2. positive, energetic "can do" people
3. wonderful advocates for libraries and librarians
4. a testament to the Homer community
