Join us for Teen Hangout!

The Marion Public Library is rolling out a continuation of its popular journaling series Tuesdays in September. We're inviting you to find your inner zen at our Mindful Journaling class!  Think of it as the ultimate mash-up: classic diary vibes meet "doodling in the margins" artistry. This isn't just about putting pen to paper; it's about giving your emotions—from wild excitement to total boredom—a safe space to just... exist.

We don’t mind if your little ones do not listen! Tiny Tots is all about getting familiar with the library and learning through play.
