No one wants to fall asleep early. Especially on New Year’s Eve. Thank goodness we’re past that! There are other creatures that don’t like to fall asleep, either. Hibernation sounds wonderful to us, but sometimes our little rascals do NOT want to participate in bedtime. They’re not sleepy! No matter the creature, the Dundee Library has just the story to get them to sleep. Join them on Wednesday, January 8 at 11 a.m. to read “Harold Hates to Hibernate” by Vern Kousky. Your little creature will be determined to stay awake through this one!

Have you ever been so hungry you could eat a horse? Sorry, horses! Not literally. Well… No, absolutely not. Winter is a tough time for our dear woodland creatures. Foraging is far from easy during these bleak, desolate months. Winter is never willing to share her food, and neither are any of the animals in the woods. If only they would learn that working together is better than fighting. If you want to stop fighting about what book you’re going to read, look no further! The Dundee Library has just the story for you on Thursday, January 9 at 3:30 p.m.! They will be reading “In the Winter Woods” by Daniela Kulot. If you’re still hungry after the story, there will be a craft! You will have the opportunity to create pop-up snowflakes. Although they’re not edible, they will satisfy your hunger to craft.

Have you ever gotten a new pet and not known how to take care of it? That’s okay! It’s a learning experience. Sometimes it takes a little while to get the hang of taking care of something that isn’t you. It happens to the best of us. No matter what pet you decide to take care of, nothing is as fun as having a cat as a pet. Just like in the Dundee Library’s story on Wednesday, January 15 at 11 a.m.! They will be reading “Dragon’s Fat Cat” by David Pilkey. Dragon must learn how to take care of his new cat. But, oh, will he learn.

The Dundee Library believes in fairytale creatures. How couldn’t they? Dragons, fairies, vampires, werewolves, selkies, centaurs, wizards and witches, etc. It’s all within the pages of wonderful stories. The biggest question is whether a Snow Dragon is real. What do you think? The Dundee Library believes in them. Is the frost on your window really just frost, or is it frostfire? Find the answer in the Dundee Library’s story time on Thursday, January 16 at 3:30 p.m. while they read “Frostfire” by Elly MacKay. After the story, stick around to create your own Snow Dragon!

Pinecones are cool, right? You can do lots of things with them. They can even be sentient beings! The Dundee Library, for example, would love to have a pinecone as a friend. Who wouldn’t? Pinecones are the best. If you want to have a pinecone as your friend, look no further! You can at least read about them at the Dundee Library’s story time on Wednesday, January 22 at 11 a.m. Join them while they read “Penguin and Pinecone: A Friendship Story” by Salina Yoon.

We all know someone that is a little more outgoing than we may appreciate. They wear loud clothing and speak in the same tone. However, we love them with all our heart. You can’t imagine them any other way. It’s the same thing in the animal kingdom. Some animals are a little more ferocious than others. In the Dundee Library’s story time on Thursday, January 23 at 3:30 p.m., join them to read “Tacky the Penguin” by Helen Lester to hear all about how one penguin’s friends find him annoying. That is, until one day they realize how special he really is. Everyone that joins in the story will have the opportunity to create their very own peculiar penguin

Yates County Public Health Cancer Prevention
2025-01-24 12:00 - 14:00
Everyone loves to share their opinions. Don’t you? We all have our own; it’s what makes us different from each other. Besides our DNA, of course. I won’t give you a science lesson about that… If you are looking to have a good conversation about some serious topics, look no further! On Friday, January 24 from 12 to 2 p.m., we will be welcoming our friends Caiti and Emily from Yates County Public Health to talk about cancer prevention and chronic disease. Whether you have cancer, know a loved one with it, or haven’t been touched by the illness before, these ladies want to hear what you have to say. They may ask you some things like: “How do you think food affects your chances of getting cancer?”, or “Do you feel comfortable discussing cancer prevention with your healthcare provider?”. Your thoughts, opinions, and answers will help shape a huge cancer prevention campaign. This is your chance to do something big, and important, for your community. Not only are these questions going to help this campaign, but it is also going to assist in connecting the community with Yates County Public Health! Plus, they will be giving away free goodies to anyone that stops by to have a chat! Who doesn’t love a free goodie? Make sure to come and say hello!

There are too many rules. There are not enough rules. What are the rules? Do we have any rules? There are rules for Groundhog Day. Rules that include shadows and the sunshine. At the time of writing, we don’t know what the outcome of Groundhog Day is, but we’re sure it went one way or another. The next set of rules is for Valentine’s Day. We’re not going to get into those but just think about what it’d be like to combine the holidays. What would those rules look like? If you are looking to find out, join the Dundee Library for their story time on Thursday, February 6 at 3:30 p.m.! They will be reading “Groundhug Day” by Anne Marie Pace. There will be a craft with the story! There may be a couple of rules to go with it, but the Dundee Library will be making fizzy hearts. It’s a neat science experiment. So, are you good at following the rules? Make sure to stop in!

We would do anything for our friends. Isn’t that, right? We love them. Sometimes even more than life itself. It’s funny how that works. Not only do we, as humans, have this instinct, but animals do as well. At least, in stories they do. Join the Dundee Library while they read “That’s What Friends Are For” by Valeri Gorbachev on Wednesday, February 12 at 11 a.m.. After all, going to story time is what a friend would do. We highly recommend it!

Some people say romance is dead. What do you think? We can’t take a stance on the matter, but you all can talk amongst yourselves. Is it a sham? Is it real? We may truly never know. So many opinions on the big question. No matter what you decide, there are people who love you. Family, friends, your pets. This is, of course, unless you don’t have any friends. In the story Dundee Library is reading on Thursday, February 13, the main character doesn’t believe he has any friends. Until he receives a mysterious letter reading nothing else but, “I love you.” Weird, huh? Our main character is determined to find out who wrote this letter. Make sure to stop in for the story at 3:30 p.m. and stay for the craft! You will have the chance to make a heart in a box. Now that is going to be fun!

None of us truly love winter. We can romanticize it, cuddle up under blankets, and eat hot soup, but nothing really thaws the chill out of our bones until spring. There’s a lot of worry that comes with the season. Especially when it comes to driving… Black ice is terrifying. If you can relate to the scaries of winter, the Dundee Library has just the story time for you. On Wednesday, February 19 at 11 a.m., they will be reading “Winter Woes” by Marty Kelley.

What do we think of spiders? Are they gross? Are they pets? Do we… kill them? No, we don’t believe you go that far in eradication. Maybe you do. But, hey, we’re not here to judge. No matter what you think, you are always going to love your pet. To celebrate Love Your Pet Day, the Dundee Library is going all out. On Thursday, February 20 at 3:30 p.m., they will be reading “Luigi, the Spider Who Wanted to be a Kitten” by Michelle Knudson. Our pets only want our love.
