Happy National Library Week!

Happy National Library Week to you all!  It's a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide.


Libraries are the heart of every community and our library helps our community thrive. At our library, people of all backgrounds come together for community meetings, lectures and programs, to do research with the assistance of a trained professional, to get help finding a job or to find homework help, to find reading, viewing and listening materials to improve their quality of life. It’s really a hub of activity. In tough economic times, libraries provide all types of free, helpful solutions, helping the community thrive. So come see us during National Library Week or any week.

Termespheres are here!


The "Termespheres: Up, Down and All Around" exhibit being held in the Children’s Activity Room this month is phenomenal. It gives visitors an opportunity to look at unique paintings on large spheres which have six point perspectives. There are some activities to do to further understand how the optical illusions work. It’s an exhibit for all ages.

On April 22 at 7 pm, the creator of the termespheres, Dick Termes who lives in the Rapid City area, will be here to talk about his work. This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Brookings Optimists.

Don't miss this excellent display!
