Women’s History Month 2025 Beanstack Reading Challenge March 1 - 31 Celebrate Women’s History Month! Log your reading and complete activities to earn virtual badges throughout the challenge. Black Out Poetry: A Kwame Alexander Beanstack Reading Challenge April 1 - 30 Beloved author and poet Kwame Alexander challenges us to read and create! If you have read his book, "Booked," then you know about a very funny scene with a "blackout" poem. For this challenge, begin a new book and stop reading at a random page. From there, copy down the text on the page. Then, begin crossing out letters and/or words until you make your own new creation, a blackout poem. Create yours and share it with Kwame on social media! Outreach visits are a vital service that is offered by Sandusky Library. This allows our staff to go offsite and visit patrons that aren't able to come to the Library. We promote Library programs and services, provide resources for educators and families, deliver early literacy programs, and more! Our Youth Services Staff make numerous outreach visits throughout the year. We enjoy visiting preschools and childcare centers for storytimes, attending Family Literacy Nights, Open Houses, and Parent Teacher Conferences for schools, and providing school age programs at our community partner sites for children during the Summer. We also offer outreach visits from the Museum Services Manager of the Follett House with a focus on local history topics and historical artifacts to our local schools. In 2024, our staff made 160 outreach visits throughout our community. For more information about Children's Outreach, contact the Youth Services Department at 419-625-3835.
