Did you know?

Newton Public Library has a beautiful display of Staff Picks that we update regularly. Our staff read a variety of genres, so you're sure to find something you like! It's a great way to try new books and explore outside your comfort zone because you can trust us to find a good read. 😉

There's still time to join our MadSkillz event that starts today at 3PM for ages 10-18! Crews will be created, teamwork will be tested, skills will be shown and excitement will ensue! Work together to race against your fellow players as you figure out the puzzles, use your creativity and show off your Mad Skillz. Happy Faces Entertainment (of Kansas City) is hosting this event. Invite your friends and get ready for a fun afternoon of healthy competition!
