Opportunities to learn, for the public and library staff, plus pancakes, trivia, and book clubs will bring enlightenment and excitement at the Shelby County Public Library this week.

Whether it’s the Shelbyville Branch, the Morristown Branch, or the Annex’s Genealogy & History Department, the edification never ends.

“Shelby County USA” is on tap Tuesday, in the Indiana Room of the Annex, 33 W. Broadway.

Donna Dennison, G&H department head, takes a deep dive into all the Shelby Counties in the United States. She will answer burning questions, such as how many Shelby counties are there? Why are they named Shelby County? and What makes each of them special?

The Velma Wortman Morristown Branch pulls out all the stops with Teach Me How: 3D Printing at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, and More Than a Paycheck: Construction and Electrician at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. John Henry of Gwynneville will talk about his 30 years in the construction industry, while Dan Roberts of Greenfield will speak about his apprenticeship experience in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. This program is perfect for those ages 17 and up, while the 3D Printing is great for all ages.

All library locations will be closed on Friday, for training. Staff will learn new procedures and brush up on skills in various library departments.

However, all branches re-open at 9 a.m. Saturday. This means the Computer Lab will also be closed. If the public needs assistance, the library’s website and social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and X are excellent ways to reach out for assistance.

Molly hosts Trivia on Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m. Spend the perfect evening with Dustin starting at 5 p.m. Wednesday. As Dustin said, “We’ll be eatin’ pancakes and watchin’ “Star Wars.” It’s a great Wednesday night!”

On Thursday, at 6 p.m., Nintendo Club will meet.

In Morristown on Saturday, Homeschool Geek Out will feature puzzles. Families and children ages 6 to 18 can drop in anytime from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Adults are not left out. “Name That Tune” with Stephanie on the electric keyboard will meet at 2 pm Wednesday, in the Adult Stacks. This week’s theme is “Color Coded.” All songs will be based on a color.

DND Journeys meets at its weekly time, 5:30 p.m. in the Annex’s Room C; this is for ages 18 and up. Library DIY at the Morristown Branch is the perfect time to work on crafts and art projects and have plenty of space to work in from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
