Editor's Note: The Friends are able to help fund many events, programs and equipment needs of the Cascade Branch of KDL thanks to the donation of time, money and used books from members of the community. Here is just one of the ways that your generosity has been put to work in recent months. These activities are sponsored in whole or in part by the Friends.

Winter Greetings! On behalf of everyone at the library, I want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredibly generous contributions the Friends have made again and again over the years. Their support has made a significant impact on our community and made our programs the reigning jewel of KDL, and I am thrilled to share some exciting updates with you.
The Kids and Teens Craft event, in collaboration with Reindeer Night, was a resounding success! We had an amazing turnout of 1,100 people who immersed themselves in festive activities. From crafting adorable reindeer headbands to decorating their own trees, the joy and laughter echoed throughout the library. The photo opportunities with Santa, a reindeer, and a gingerbread person added a magical touch, and the homemade crafts sold by our talented young artists were a big hit.
Your generosity has also paved the way for a series of upcoming programs sponsored by our Friends group. We have exciting weekly and monthly events like Awesome Adults, BINGO Hour, and Game Zone lined up for the next few months. These programs play a crucial role in fostering community connections, and we are grateful for the financial support that allows us to offer them.
In particular, our Retro Arcade and Mini Golf in the Stacks event on January 26th was a phenomenal success. Partnering with 616 Amusements, we brought classic arcade games for patrons to enjoy unlimited free play. Mini golf and other yard games added an extra layer of fun in the main library, engaging patrons of all ages and reaching out to the gaming community in a unique way. This program not only brought joy but also helped combat the winter blues, drawing people back into the library during the coldest months.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce our upcoming Jigsaw Puzzle Tournament on February 17th. Groups of 2 to 4 will compete to complete the puzzle the fastest, with all participants given the same puzzle. It promises to be a fantastic event, fostering teamwork and friendly competition among our patrons.
Once again, thanks from all of us you for your incredible support which lets the Friends “do their thing.” Your commitment to our library and community makes a lasting difference, enabling us to create memorable experiences and provide valuable programs for everyone.
The 2nd annual Reindeer Night attracted more than 1,100 patrons, including this mom and daughter.
