Catch the Hatch!

By |2024-03-12T15:35:18-04:00March 22, 2024|

Starting Monday, March 25, we’ll have special guests – chicken eggs that are getting ready to hatch – in the children’s department at our Main Branch. We’ll have an incubator set up and families may even get to see the eggs as they hatch.

They’re expected to hatch in April. Once the eggs are almost ready, you ‘ll be able to watch the Hatch Cam on our Twitch channel. After hatching, the chicks will live at our Main Branch for a week before heading onto their forever home.

Additionally, families can learn all about chicks and eggs during a program we’re hosting with Jess Nestor from Meyer Hatchery at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, at our Main Branch. Nestor will talk about the process of chicken egg hatching and answer any questions kids may have. She may also have some chicks of her own with her. Registration is required. Sign up online or by calling us at (440) 255-8811 ext. 3.

Treat yourself to a blind date with a book

By |2024-02-01T08:48:02-05:00February 2, 2024|

Looking for something new to love?

May we suggest a book?

From now through Feb. 29, you can check out one of our Blind Date books. And, if you rate them, you could win a prize!

It’s easy to spot our Blind Date books. They’re wrapped so you can’t see the title—they are Blind Date books, after all—but you can see a short description.

They’ll be shelved on one of the main displays when you first walk into our Main Branch.

Check them out, rip them open and give them a good reading.

Each Blind Date book has a Rate Your Date card. If you fill it out and drop it off at Mentor Public Library, you could win dinner and a movie for two.

Each Blind Date book has a Rate Your Date card. If you fill it out and drop it off at Mentor Public Library, you could win dinner and a movie for two.

Inside each Blind Date book is a Rate Your Date card.

Fill out the card and drop it off at our Main Branch.

At the end of the month, we’ll pick a rating card at random, and that reader will win a gift card to a local restaurant.

By the way, you can enter more than one rating card; so check out as many blind dates as you like.

Who knows? You might fall in love with a book you just met.

Help Feed Lake County at Mentor Public Library

By |2022-03-28T18:33:25-04:00March 31, 2022|

More than 27,000 people living in Lake County suffer from food insecurity. That is, they don’t always have confidence that they’ll be able to feed themselves or their family. That’s nearly 12 percent of the people in Lake County who struggle with hunger.

But you can help by supporting United Way of Lake County’s annual Feed Lake County food drive.

From now until the end of April, you can drop off nonperishable food at our Main, Lake and Headlands Branches and help Feed Lake County. You can also donate money if you prefer.  Your donation will be shared with Lake County residents through the more than 50 food pantries in the county.

Support your neighbor by donating food and help Feed Lake County.
