Recently, you may have noticed the beautiful sculpture outside the Youth Services event room. This lovely moving sculpture was donated by the late Florence Patrick, a long-time supporter of the Fremont Public Library. Florence was a former library trustee and past President of the Friends of the Library. She wanted to give the library something that would be enjoyed by all and, as a former teacher with a special affinity for children, something that would be easily viewed from the Youth Services Department. Flo personally picked out the piece of artwork that was recently installed in front of the building, just to the east of the bike racks. The piece is by a Utah based artist named Lyman Whitaker. It is designed to move gracefully with the wind and to be out in the elements year-round.

Library Director Scott Davis reflects on the piece, saying "I know I will always think about Flo when I see it turning in the breeze and think about how much of a positive impact she had on the library and how much we, not just an institution but as a collection of people and personalities, have impacted her life."

Guy Louis performed a spectacular show at Fremont Public Library on Monday, October 8. Showcasing music from Africa, India, Native America, and the European Renaissance, Louis pleased children and adults alike. Thanks to all those who came and a big thank you to Guy Louis.

While the library is your one-stop place for books and movies, why not stop in to play a game? Just behind the youth services desk, we offer a multitude of board and card games. Sink battleships, find words in Boggle Jr., race around the Superheroes Chutes & Ladders, and plenty more.

On top of pure entertainment, we offer educational board games that you can check-out. Subjects include reading, math, social studies, science, and critical thinking. We even have Cranium's Cadoo for you to check out! Limit 2 per card.
