Kidz Storytime & Free Craft Bags

Anytime on Facebook

Stop by the library to pick up this month's free craft bag. It includes everything your child needs to complete a fun new craft. This is a great option if you are looking to keep the kids or grandkids off the screens for a bit and help them tap into their creativity.

Head to the Whitehouse Ohio Library Facebook page with your child to listen to one of our great volunteers read a book from our collection. Will it be a new book or one of the classics? Login to find out.

Star Stuff (Astronomy)

Watch this "space" for future 2026 telescope observing programs on the Library lawn, in conjunction with the Toledo Metroparks.

NOTE - we have a 4.5 inch reflecting Telescope Kit available for 3 week loan. A brief lesson in its use can be provided. Everything you need to see the Moon, Planets, and more!

Donation Fundraiser

Donations from friends and businesses such as you have been an integral part of our funding, and HAVE made a difference! At this giving time of year, we ask you to please consider a donation to the Whitehouse Library.

There is a new adventure every month.

Craft bags are available each month for the children. The craft bag relates to the story on our Facebook page. You can pick them up during Library hours so the children can work on them at home.
