Jingle Along with JRC and Support Our Community!  Would you like to have any book or material fines deleted at JR Clarke Public Library?  If so, we have a very easy way to do so beginning Monday, December 2 through Monday, December 23.  For every canned good brought to the library, our staff will delete $1.00 off any fine, excluding lost materials.  You can bring in any unexpired canned good(s) to the front circulation desk and our staff will take care of reducing a book or material fine just for you.  Perhaps you can “jingle your pocket change” by purchasing canned goods to support others.  Call 937-473-2226 for additional information.

JR Clarke’s STEAMers Class usually held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 12:30p, will not be held during the month of December.  The next STEAMers Class will be held on Tuesday, January 14.  This class is open to any child grade 2nd on up who are homeschooled and want to learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math!  Also working in groups and collaborating with one another is a life skill  You won’t want to miss the next class!
