Monthly Archives: December 2025

Clark Memorial Library will be closed on Wednesday, December 24 & Thursday, December 25 for Christmas; we will be open our usual hours on Saturday, December 27. Happy holidays!

The holidays are upon us! If you’re looking for an end-of-year recipe or craft, stop by the reading area upstairs to browse our curated collection of holiday magazines; this assortment includes holiday editions past and present, all of which can be checked out just like our regular periodicals. Be sure to take a look next time you’re here!

Get ready for the holidays with the Home Viewing for the Holidays playlist on the Library’s film app, Kanopy! Enjoy a curated collection of classic holiday-themed films and TV shows, perfect for putting the whole family in the holiday spirit!

All you need to access this collection – as well as hundreds of other classic and indie films, TV shows, and documentaries – is your library card. For a quick walkthrough of how to set up and use a Kanopy account, visit their Getting Started webpage; if you already have an account, just sign in and enjoy. New media and watchlists are added on a regular basis!

Homeschool Hangouts

Thanks to the positive reception it’s received, the Library’s Homeschool Hangouts program has been extended through May of 2026! It will continue to be scheduled on the third Thursday of each month – stop by between 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM to take part. Meet other home-schooled patrons and their families, and enjoy all that the Library has to offer together!

And don’t forget, the last Homeschool Hangouts meeting of 2025 will take place next week, on Thursday, December 18. We hope to see you there!

Winter is on its way, and our displays have filled with appropriately snowy books. Some only have it as a backdrop, while others are set during blizzards, at the Earth’s frozen poles, or on frigid mountains and glaciers – but they all feature winter weather in one way or another. Stop by and pick one up: there’s SNOW better time to read!

Clark Memorial Library and Willow Tree Montessori invite families with young children (ages 0-3) to join a representative from Willow Tree at the Library for a special Montessori Morning storytime on Saturday, December 13! This is a drop-in event that will start at 10:30 AM.

Willow Tree hopes to share the love of language with rich vocabulary through stories, songs, and poems. For more information about Willow Tree Montessori, visit their website at wtm.earth.
