Kids are invited to the library on Tuesday, December 30th to enjoy some creative crafting. We will be bringing out our craft supplies, and youth are invited to come and create whatever they desire using the materials provided. This program is geared for kids in grades K-4th, however siblings are always welcome. Those 8 and under must have an adult/teen caregiver along.
The Litchfield Public Library was originally a Carnegie Library. Although the library is now in a new building, that history is reflected in the painting of the original library in the lobby, and the Carnegie meeting room. Across the street, you can read about the history of the library on a bench installed by the Downtown Council.
The Friends of the Litchfield Library are low on storage space for book donations. In December, please call ahead if you have more than 2 boxes or bags to bring: 320-693-2483. Thank you.

Thank you to the organizations and businesses that donated toward Litchfield Library’s summer reading program this year! The Friends of the Library donated funds to help run the program and buy small prizes. The businesses donated prizes that children and teens chose when they turned in completed reading sheets. Thank you for supporting kids and reading in our community!
