We have been greatly saddened by the passing of Jan Williams, longtime DeForest educator and drama program director. She and her drama club students have long contributed to programs at the DeForest Area Public Library, most recently as key presenting partners in our Haunted Library. The celebration of her life is scheduled for Saturday, October 28, the original date for our Halloween Party and Haunted Library.
This month join us at our Fall Harvest Celebration from 10 am - 1 pm to paint wooden fall-themed cutouts.
Our normal Mini Painting schedule will return next month.
Join us on the grounds around the library to celebrate the start of autumn.
Enjoy a farm animal petting zoo, food, games, crafts for all ages, balloon animals, a Friends of the DAPL book sale, and more.

Our summer readers blew away every challenge we could throw at them, so we're going to throw a beach-style dance party on Market Street! We'll have a DJ, fun outdoor games, a sandy play area, and Susie's Sweets and Treats ice cream truck.
All summer reading participants who log at least one book in Beanstack will receive a coupon at the party for a free ice cream treat. Winners of the school reading challenges will also have chances to super soak their principals, school librarians, and public library staff. Stay tuned for more details.
Join us at the library and grab one of the many giant bins of LEGO® bricks to build from. With so many LEGO® bricks at your beck and call, you can construct the build of your dreams.
