Holmes County Library Announces March Programs: Storytimes, Family Events, Contest
Library launches a creative-writing contest March 2–April 27 and will screen The Wizard of Oz March 31 with a photo booth and refreshments.
The Holmes County District Public Library has released a full calendar of March programs, led by an annual creative-writing contest running March 2 through April 27 and a public screening of The Wizard of Oz on March 31. Entry forms and contest rules are available at the Holmes County Central Library in Millersburg and the East Branch in Walnut Creek, and the library says prizes will be awarded to the top entry in each age group; for registration or details call 330-674-5972.
Early childhood offerings are scheduled at three branches. Storytime for young children takes place at Killbuck Library at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays, March 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31; at the East Branch in Walnut Creek at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesdays, March 4, 11, 18 and 25; and at Holmes County Central Library in Millersburg at 10:30 a.m. on Fridays, March 6, 13, 20 and 27. Multiple community announcements describe Storytime as for children age 2-5 accompanied by an adult; an earlier East Branch Family Story Time listing on WhoFi noted ages 2-9, so patrons seeking age-specific guidance may confirm with the East Branch at 330-893-3464 or the central line 330-674-5972.
The Central Library will host Little Learners Playgroup at 11 a.m. on Fridays March 6, 13, 20 and 27. The March description states children up to age 5 with an adult will participate in hands-on activities to promote reading and social skills, meet new friends, and receive snacks; WhoFi event entries explicitly note snacks are provided.
The Wizard of Oz screening on March 31 is part of the statewide Ohio Goes to the Movies series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, with county entries listed in the program matrix. Activities at the Holmes County showing begin at noon and the film starts at 1 p.m.; the library will offer a full-service photo booth for commemorative photos and provide refreshments. Sources list the library as the host but do not specify which branch will host the March 31 screening; patrons should call 330-674-5972 to confirm location and any registration requirements.
The announcement also lists book-club meetings and family activities as part of the March lineup, though specific meeting dates and leaders were not provided in the community notices. The program title mentions Library of Things checkouts but did not include item lists or checkout policies; residents seeking contest rules, book-club schedules, or Library of Things details can visit either branch in person or call the library at 330-674-5972, or contact the East Branch directly at 330-893-3464.
