The 2020 Census is fast approaching – I want to remind everyone just how important it is when you receive your Census forms in the mail to either fill them out and mail them back or to go online and fill them out there. If you don’t have home access to a computer you can always come into the library and use one of our 6 computers we have that are available to the public. We need everyone of us to be counted – This can greatly affect the amount of Federal funds our state, county and city receives. If just 1 percent don’t get counted that can affect what the state receives by hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Federal Government. So, please make sure and make sure you get counted….

The Valley Heights Art class has pieces of art on display at the Waterville Public Library. We have been encouraging the public to come in and look at all the pieces and to vote on which piece is their favorite piece of art. The winner of the Peoples Choice Award will have money donated in their name to the Valley Heights Art Department to help them in buying supplies. I hope to see as many people as possible over the next two days so we can show these kids that art is alive and doing well in Marshall County…
Due to the the Valley Heights School District closing at 12:30 PM the Library will also be closing, however, not till 1:00PM and will not reopen till tomorrow, Wednesday at 1PM. Our guidelines state that if the Valley Heights Unified School District closes than we do as well for safety reasons.
Again, this is due to the extremely icy conditions, especially on the sidewalks and stairs of both the front and back of the library. Please be safe if you absolutely have to be out in these conditions….
The Library will be closed tomorrow, Saturday the 19th in observacne of MLK Day! However, we will be open Monday from 2pm-7pm for an open house! I hope to see everyone there…
Well hello!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend some quality time with family and friends. The Library will start the New Year off by being closed on Tuesday, January 1st and will reopen on Wednesday, January 2nd.
Have you been wondering what all the talk about robotics and coding is? You can come to the Waterville Library on January 12th and January 26th from 9-11 am to find out.
