Jasper Public Library posts February 2026 schedule: storytimes, STEM, bingo

Jasper Public Library has released its February program schedule, offering a mix of weekly services and special events aimed at families, homeschoolers and lifelong learners across Dubois County. The calendar highlights recurring offerings such as Family Storytime, genealogy help and teen programming alongside seasonal activities designed to keep children and adults engaged through winter.

Regular programs include Family Storytime on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m., a Genealogy Help Desk on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Curiosity Café for Teens on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. Stay & Play for ages 2–5 is listed in source materials both as a session on Feb. 2 and in a library Instagram post as "MONDAY 10AM-STAY & PLAY (AGES 2-5)." The Instagram text also contains the line "2 1P IPM-HOMESCHOOL CONNECTIONS FEBRUARY 5:30PM-STEM," which appears garbled; callers should confirm times with library staff.

For homeschool families, Homeschool Connections will hold a STEM-focused session on Monday, February 3 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The program is a rotating series presented in coordination with Jasper Community Arts and covers STEM, history and geography, art and literature for school-aged children from kindergarten through 12th grade. Registration guidance is explicit: "When you register, please only register your child/children. Adults are welcome to attend, but you do not need to register."

Families can also attend One Book, Two Schools: Charlotte's Web on February 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The program will take place in the Jasper Library Programming Room at 100 3rd Ave., Suite B, Jasper, and is presented in partnership with Ireland Elementary and Jasper Elementary Schools. Organizers will read the first chapter and stage activities and stations including Charlotte's Web art, farm STEM building challenges and county fair games. "No sign up is needed."

Seasonal reading incentives run through the Winter Reading Bingo program, open January 1 through February 28. The library invites readers to complete bingo tasks via the Beanstack Tracker app or with a printable bingo sheet available at the library; the site notes, "Those who complete Bingo will receive a completion prize & be entered in a drawing for a gift card!" App users are reminded: "If you are using the app, make sure the app is updated!"

Practical details and verification guidance are straightforward: contact the Jasper–Dubois County Public Library at (812) 482-2712 or consult the library's event calendar for registration requirements and room locations. Note that a local station page showed a heading citing February 2025 while also referencing February 2, 2026; and the Instagram scheduling line contains ambiguous text. Call (812) 482-2712 if times or dates need confirmation.

For Dubois County residents, the schedule provides multiple low-cost options for early childhood activity, homeschool enrichment and winter reading motivation. Verify specific dates and registration steps with library staff, then plan visits to take advantage of programming tailored to local families, students and history buffs.
