Each year only 3 percent of Americans donate blood and the nation is currently facing a critical shortage of available blood units. Please consider helping alleviate this shortage on Friday, February 24 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the Library and the Town of Lyons cohost our first blood drive.

Our new friends from Vitalant will be on site to draw blood for this great cause. Please register for the event by visiting vitalant.org and entering code A069. Please also pencil in May 2, July 3, and October 23 for additional blood drives planned in 2023.

The Library-hosted book club is called “Busy Readers” for a reason: we know you’re all busy. That’s why the book club meets every other month, now in person at 11 a.m. and virtually the same evening at 7 p.m. And since you’re busy, why not get a jumpstart on the upcoming book, The Dictionary of Lost Letters by Pip Williams. Pick up a copy at the Library when you register to attend and we look forward to discussing with you on Thursday, March 30.

Please note the Library will be closed on Monday, February 20 in observance of President’s Day. We will reopen at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 21 and will happily host our youngest patrons and their caregivers for a baby/lapsit storytime at 10:30 a.m. as we do every Tuesday. Walkers/preschoolers and their caregivers are invited to storytime and a craft on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.

The Lyons Community Library opens Monday through Saturday at 10 a.m. We close at 5 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays; 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays; and 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Our online catalog is available 24/7 at lyons.colibraries.org and we’re always open for digital downloads on both the Libby and CloudLibrary apps.

Give us a call at 303-823-5165 or email info@lyonslibrary.com with any questions. Please see the calendar of events on our website for additional program information and for registration instructions.
