Live owl programs are an exciting way to learn about the environment. The International Owl Center is coming to the Spring Valley Public Library to teach us about these amazing creatures. Join us for a family-friendly program featuring a real live owl on Wednesday, July 19th at 1:30 PM. We will learn what’s so special about owls, their behaviors, and why they do not make good pets.
The International Owl Center, located in Houston, Minnesota, advances the survival of wild owl populations through education and research. The center, located at the trailhead of the Root River Trail, provides the only such experience in North America. Each spring, the center supports the International Festival of Owls. People come to Houston from all over the country to celebrate owls and what they give to our world.
Visit www.internationalowlcenter.org for information about the owls that live at the center and owl activities.

Minnesota’s 365 public libraries receive funding distributed through existing formulas to the 12 Minnesota Regional Library Systems to provide programs and services in four areas: arts (visual, performing and media), culture, literary and Minnesota history.

Check out this room! Thousands of LEGO’S ready to be built with…can you make a robot, an airplane, a puppy?? How about a double-decker cheeseburger?? The possibilities are endless! We require an adult to be present in the room with any little builders 3 and under. The LEGO building room will be closed during program times each Wednesday to alleviate a great over crowding in our little room and a possible LEGO explosion. Registration is full steam ahead, too! There are so many fun things to do in the library right now. Come and visit us! Butterscotch is waiting at the door to greet you!
