What's Happening @ The Library...

Lives Change@ Your Library

National Library Week 2014: April 13-19

During National Library Week, Three Rivers Library will be accepting Food for Fines*.  Bring in non-expired food items and we will waive one line of fines for each donation!  Donate as much as you like, even if you don't currently have fines; you will receive a fine coupon for donating (limit of $5 a day).  Donations will go to local food pantries.

 To thank you for being a part of the library community, Three Rivers Libraries will also be celebrating National Library Week with competitions, special prizes and a grand prize raffle to top off the festivities!  Visit our National Library Week webpage for more information.

*Fine waivers and coupons will be applied to fines on Three Rivers Public Library Cards only and cannot be applied to lost/damaged item fees or collection accounts.  Limit of one donation/fine coupon per day, worth up to $5.  Each coupon is good for one time use only and will expire April 2015.

Rain gardens add beauty and help attract wildlife, such as butterflies, to your yard; but one of their main functions is to help increase water infiltration into the soil instead of running off the surface. Conservation@Home will be here to highlight information on the installation and use of rain gardens and other practices for around the home, such as using rain barrels and participating in the Conservation@Home program. Registration Required.
