Library Activities

Sure, you could come to the library, check out your book, and leave... or you can enjoy some of our other activities available for you to enjoy!

Book Displays 

Our wonderful staff enjoys assembling book displays to spotlight hidden gems and offer recommendations. Patrons are able and encouraged to check out books from the displays.

Current Book Displays include:

  • "What's Your Favorite Scary Movie" display in the glass case in the foyer
  • "Fat Bears" display (with Scavenger Hunt) in the New Book Section
  • "Banned Book Week" display located near the Community Puzzle Table
  •  "Suicide Prevention Month" display located near the nonfiction section
  • "Creepy Good BOOOOOO-ks" display in the Young Adult Section
  • "Haunted House" display by the entrance downstairs
  • "Halloween" displays throughout the Children's Library

Our displays are changed monthly, so be sure to check in regularly.

Local History Showcase 

Located on the wall in the New Books Section, we've been posting photographs from our Geneaology room, encouraging both the gathering of information and also some sillier captions. Take a look next time you stop in, or check them out on our Facebook page as we post them.

Community Puzzle Table 
The image promotes a community puzzle table at LaSalle Public Library, featuring colorful puzzle pieces against a green background.

Take a seat for a minute or two...or sixty, and enjoy a community puzzle! All are welcome to participate.

Rules:

  • Keep all pieces on the table.
  • Try not to damage the puzzle.
  • Do not disassemble completed sections.
  • Let others help with the puzzle. Don’t hog it.
  • Check the ground for fallen pieces before leaving.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy!

Used Puzzle Swap 
Used Puzzle Swap

Located in the corner near the copy machine, this space allows patrons to take and leave puzzles as they please!

Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Grab a puzzle and keep it for as long as you'd like! There is no check-out necessary. No due date. No late fees.

Have too many puzzles that you've already completed? Add it to the shelf for another patron to enjoy! (Puzzles with no missing pieces preferred)

You do not need to bring a puzzle to take a puzzle. All you need to do is fill out the quick form, take/give the puzzle, and ta-da! All done.

Disclaimer: The library will not be checking donated puzzles, and therefore cannot guarantee that all puzzles will have no missing pieces. While a puzzle is on the shelf, the library has the ability to remove or relocate it into storage. The library cannot guarantee the return of any puzzle once donated.
