JCPL hosting

Jay County Public Library is celebrating “Love Your Library” month with an appreciation and promotion campaign that will offer weekly prize drawings.

Patrons to the library will have a card and receive one punch for a visit, checking out material and attending a special program. Each full card will qualify for a prize drawing.

JCPL will also host an afternoon at the movies at 3:30 p.m. Friday with a showing of “Smallfoot.” Other events include a “crafternoon” Feb. 14, family trivia Feb. 15, a craft event Feb. 23 and a breakout game Feb. 27.

Patrons can also vote on which new feature — a mobile charging station, a collection of outdoor games for borrowing or child-sized furniture for the children’s area — should be added at the facility.
