Due to weather / road conditions, the library will be closed today, Veteran’s Day – Monday 11/12/18.

Stay safe!

Overbrook Library will be hosting our annual Halloween Party for kids on October 25th from 5:30-7:00pm. It will feature a variety of fun activities, treats, and a visit from our friends at the Topeka Zoo. Drop in for a scary good time!

Due to scheduling conflicts, the Overbrook Public Library Board will not be meeting in October at the scheduled time (Oct. 15th @ 6pm).

Instead both October and November business will be discussed at the regularly scheduled November Library Board meeting Nov. 19th @ 6pm.

Join us at the Overbrook Public Library for a fun pub-style trivia night!

Teams of up to 8 people welcome, feel free to bring your own snacks!

Are you interested in baseball? Want to hear about the history of the Kansas City Monarchs as well as their trip to Overbrook in 1954?

Join us at the library, where author and co-founder of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Phil S. Dixon will present:

“The Kansas City Monarchs in Your Hometown” on Saturday, September 29th at 10:30am.

The event is free to the public and  should be a “home run” for all ages.

This presentation is a Humanities Kansas program in partnership with the Overbrook Public Library.

Please join our book club for a visit from Kansas author
Nancy Sprowell Geise
to discuss her book:
Auschwitz #34207: The Joe Rubinstein Story

Tuesday August 21 @ 7pm in the Library Community Room

Copies of the book are available at the Overbrook Public Library information desk for checkout if you’d like to read Joe’s amazing story, or just come meet Nancy on the 21st. It’s free, open to all, and should be a great time!

Congratulations to our wonderful volunteer, Lynn Drake, who has received the 2018 Super Volunteer award from the Northeast Kansas Library System! She received this award after being nominated by our library staff.

We appreciate all of the hard work she puts in to make our library great. All of us are very happy to see her efforts recognized throughout northeast Kansas! She is an amazing member of our library team and the Overbrook community.

Be sure to congratulate Lynn when you see her and thank her for all her hard work.

Hope everyone can join us next Tuesday 7/31 for our End of Summer Reading Ice Cream Party @ 10am! It’s been a great summer of events and reading and we hope you’ve all had fun!

We hope you had fun at our previous Trivia Night back in February, despite the ice storm.

We’ll be hosting another trivia night Thursday, June 14th @ 6pm in the Overbrook Library Community Room, and we will hopefully have better weather!

Bring your team and some snacks and get ready to show us how smart you are!
