The Atlanta Library History Project is Coming!

More than 2,500 Carnegie library buildings were built between 1881 and 1919. About 165 of those were in the State of Indiana, and about half of those have either been torn down or are no longer being used as a library. The Atlanta Branch library was built in 1916. As we approach the 100-year mark, we want to put together something special to celebrate the centennial. The first step is to see who is interested in sharing their stories, pictures and memorabilia to show what it was like "back in the day". These items and narrative do not need to be limited to the library. If you have something to share about this area (Atlanta, Arcadia, Cicero) it would be welcome. We're hoping to have something published. You, your friends and family could be a part of that. Join us for our first gathering. We'll be meeting at the Atlanta Branch library on Tuesday, January 11th at 6pm and will continue meeting the 2nd Tuesday of every month at the same time (6pm). Light refreshments provided.

Walk-Away-the-Pounds is Back!

If you are ready to start the new year right, join the group in the Atlanta Branch basement for their first session on Thursday, January 20th at 6pm. We will be once again using Leslie Sansone's "Walk-Away-the-Pounds" video. Bring your walking shoes. There is no cost for this event.

Story Time Has Moved!

Story Time & Crafts for our pre-schoolers continues to meet every Wednesday but has moved to a new time. We now gather at 2:00 pm on the main floor to listen to stories. The children will make age-appropriate crafts to take home with them each week.

Calling all Toddlers!

Mother-Goose-on-the-Loose is coming soon to Atlanta.  This is a nursery rhyme program for children from birth to age three with their parent or caregivers.  It incorporates priciples of child development with a hands-on program using rhyme and music.   Let us know what day of the week and what time works best for you and your little one.  We want to hear from you!

New Teen Avisory Group in Atlanta!

The teens in Atlanta have formed a new Teen Advisory Group.  The purpose of this group is to look at programs and events to enhance the library experience for teens and "tweens".  They meet the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month from 4:00 to 6:00 pm in the basement.  The group is open to all middle, high and home school students.  Lite refreshments provided.

Free Notary Services Now Available!

A Notary Public is now available at the library in Atlanta during regular business hours (Monday through Thursday from 2:00pm-7:00pm).  There is no charge for this service.
