Stop by our newly renovated library and take a tour of all the exciting new updates! Discover our expanded children’s area, relocated makerspace, and the stunning new Xenia community mural that was specially designed by a local artist. There's so much more to explore!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 10th, our grand reopening celebration! We’ll have refreshments from Glazed Donut Eatery and Frios Gourmet Pops, face painting with a local community artist, a performance by the Xenia High School Jazz Band, a special visit from the Newport Aquarium’s shark, friendly goats from GoatCountry, storytimes, and guided tours of our Library. It’s an all-day celebration you won’t want to miss!
But the fun doesn’t stop there…we’ve got an exciting summer ahead!!!
Our Summer Reading Club kicks off in June and we’re celebrating with a big party on June 9th from 3–6 p.m. Enjoy a visit from the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, get creative with sidewalk chalk art on our new patio, and dive into other hands-on art activities. And yes!—there will be popsicles!!
This year’s Summer Reading Club theme is “Color Our World” so we’re hosting a variety of art and imagination inspired programs:
- Aspiring Artists for kids (Mondays)
- Summer Art Camp for kids (Tuesdays)
- Teens can join us on June 6th for a Sharpie Tie-Dye program and on June 11th for a Teen Magic Workshop with Rusty Ammerman
And don’t worry—there’s something for adults too!
- On June 2nd, join us to quill Butterflies of Summer with Debora
- On June 3rd, register for our Glass Painting program
We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Xenia Community Library where stories, creativity, and connections come to life all summer long.
See you at the Library!
