May Story Hour with the “Snake Lady”

On Saturday, May 21, Amanda Fisher (aka the “Snake Lady”) will be here to read a story. She will be bringing some of her pet snakes, reptiles and amphibians. She will be sharing information about these animals and how they live and need care. Visitors will be able to pet and hold some of her animals.

Children ages 2-8 are welcome to vist the library from 11-noon to listen while Amanda reads a book. A free hot dog lunch will be served to all who attend. Siblings and friends are welcome. A parent must accompany each child.

Regular hours for the library on this day are 10 am to 2 pm.

Schofield Gray event

The Fordland Memorial Library will be serving a burrito meal for $5 at this event. This meal will include a homemade burrito, chips, cookie or brownie and a drink.

Local vendors will be set up on the parking lot west of the library.  If you are a local vendor and wish to have a booth, contact the library via the Fordland Resident Facebook page or email using the library address. There are no setup fees.

The library will be selling used books, baked goods and other items.

April Story Hour

Our monthly story hour is starting up again on April 23, 2022. Beta Club members will be reading to each participant. Every child 2-8 will have their own personal reader. Siblings and friends of the family are welcome to attend. Each child must have a parent accompany them.

A fun activity is being planned as well as a free hot dog lunch provided for all who attend.

The library will be open from 10 am to 2 pm. Story hour will begin around 11 am.

Come join us at the library!

“Community” Bake Sale

With the help of the Fordland High School Beta Club, the “community” bake sale will be held at the DOLLAR GENERAL store on April 16, 2022. Goods will be available for purchase at 10 am. Proceeds will be used to weatherize the handicap ramp and buy new books.

This is a “community” bake sale as the library is asking for community support to bake items or purchase goods on this Saturday. If you plan to bake items, they can be dropped off at the library on Friday, April 15, during business hours from 9-1 and 2-5. They can be brought to DOLLAR GENERAL in the morning on April 16, between 9:45 am and 10 am.
