The Butte County Library has been very creative in revamping services to comply with covid restrictions. Their grab-n-go craft kid for kids, teens, and adults have been a big hit!

From the Eric Carle Team: In honor of the late Eric Carle’s upcoming birthday, we encourage fans to celebrate his children’s books by placing a copy of their favorite book in their windows on Friday, 6/25. Share a photo using #RememberingEricCarle to join the online tribute.

After 17 months of limited services, it’s exciting to see activities slowly begin to return at all branches of the Butte County Library!
