Join us at the Meridian Park Aquatic Park to celebrate the completion of our Summer Reading Program. Finish your summer reading goals and at the pool party! The library has paid for the entry costs of readers and their families!

For details, check with the librarians at the Shelbyville Youth Department or the Velma Wortman Morristown Branch. A pool party is the perfect ending to a reading hot streak!

You've read a bunch and had lots of adventures, now show your skills with our End of Summer Olympics! Games, fun, and prizes galore! All ages are welcome to attend.

Could you be a spy? Break cryptic codes, write in invisible ink, and uncover secrets in this adventurous afternoon! Fun for ages 6+!

Everybody loves a good story, and every dog loves to be petted! Dutton, who works as a therapy dog, will visit the Youth Department and invites everyone to Paws for Reading and belly rubs! Dutton looks forward to meeting families and youth for a relaxing reading time.

Hedgehog Hannah brings her animals to the library to visit! She will visit the Shelbyville Branch, so save this date and time! Hedgehog Hannah provides a hands-on, educational experience that will liven up our day! Both children and adults can touch, handle, and learn about critters from all over the world, whether it be a beautiful Arctic Fox, American Alligator, Sugar Glider,  HUGE Burmese Python, Savannah Monitor Lizard, Hedgehog, or Blue and Gold Macaw. Whether you want scary, cuddly, or exotic animals, they have it all.

Paint your RPG character with us! Some basic character miniatures will be on hand if you don't have a character created already.

Build your best castle with popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and other basic craft supplies! We'll see which one can withstand a ping-pong cannonball attack!

Hey, kids! Get in the Summerween spirit and decorate some spooky cookies! A special Friday craft for elementary-age kids, ages 6-11, let the spirit of Halloween inspire your cookie creation as Dustin, Molly, and the gang lend a hand … or eyeball … or tooth. It’s all a tasty treat!

Dragons are swooping down on these previously peaceful paintings! Alter thrift-store paintings to create a thrilling fantasy world! Please call 765-818-1718 to register for this free event.

Join the legions of Halloween-lovers just like the residents of Gravity Falls, Oregon, and celebrate Summerween! Dress up like DIpper and Mabel Pines if you like - nobody styles peanut butter and jelly like they do! But most of all, hit up ShelbyYouth for a Summerween Party! Dustin. Molly, and the rest of the ShelbyYouth staff are “dying” to see you middle- and high-schoolers!

Snacks. Chalk Art. Games. Crafts. Snowcones by Snowie!
