Have an Oreo at JCPL

There is a week full of activities planned for spring break at the end of the month, but the library has plenty to offer in the weeks preceding it as well.

Jay County Public Library’s activities for March include an Oreo tasting party at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Visitors to the library Wednesday will be able to grab a cold glass of milk and try their choice of Oreo varieties in an effort to choose their favorite.

An afternoon at the movies will follow at 3:30 p.m. March 8. The library will show the movie “Ralph breaks the Internet,” there will be free popcorn available and activity bags will be handed out to children in attendance.

At 6 p.m. March 11, JCPL will offer some advice as the time comes closer to throw open the windows and allow some fresh air in. Cheri Brown of Jay County’s Purdue Extension office will host a seminar about spring cleaning with non-toxic substances.

Offering help

Free tax help will be available at Adams Public Library’s Geneva location over the next few months. 

AARP tax-aide volunteers will be at the library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 18 and April 8 to help people prepare their Indiana State and Federal tax forms.
