Chef Rose Sweets & Treats Event

Chef Rose Sweets & Treats Event:  We are excited about the Chef Rose Sweets & Treats Event happening at the Library Thursday, March 16th, 1:30 pm – 5:30 pm. Watch Chef Rose on the TV show, Talk of Alabama, then come see her at the Leeds Jane Culbreth Library to sample the extra moist cakes and goodies she creates! Chef Rose sells out of her goodies quickly so if you missed it last month – you have another chance! This is a Friends of the Library fundraiser.

Downtown Story Walk

I am excited to let you to know that the Leeds Jane Culbreth Library is partnering with our friends of Leeds Main Street to have a Story Walk throughout Leeds during the month of March in celebration of Read Across America.

We are inviting everyone to come read stories in downtown Leeds.  The Story Walk activity begins at the Library with the book’s cover and instruction posted on the library’s front window.

“Please continue reading this story on the storefront windows throughout downtown Leeds!”

We’ve selected two books written by Dr. Seuss. One book is for the parents to read, “Oh the Places You’ll Go” and one for younger readers, “Great Day For Up”.

We are pleased to be partnering with Leeds Main Street on a project that promotes literacy, builds community, and supports the businesses in historic downtown Leeds.
