CLOSED: Monday, September 4, 2023
Forbes Library will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2023 in observation of Labor Day. We will reopen with usual hours on Tuesday, September 5. Access to thousands of e-books and e-audiobooks as well as powerful research databases are still available from the library's website.
Attention: Crafters!
Forbes Library will have a team in the DoozyDo parade on September 23th at 11 AM. We hope you can join us in crafting, making music, and marching on this fun day!
Our theme for our parade team is "Forbes for All'' with a fun aquatic twist: we will create large and small flying fish puppets. Feel free to work with us on some puppets, banners, swirling streamers, props, or see where your inspiration leads you and come craft!
Crafting dates and times will be September 14 and September 21 from 3-6 pm on the Forbes library lawn.
DONATE SUPPLIES: If you would like to donate acrylic paint, fabric, bamboo or other material for long, light poles, please bring it to the Children's Department during library hours.
MARCH WITH US! We will meet at the Northampton Center for the Arts at 33 Hawley St at 10 AM on September 23th. Bring your puppets, noisemakers, and big energy. The march will begin at 11 AM. If you don't want to march, but would like to cheer us on, make yourself comfortable anywhere along the parade route.
