From hands-on fun to playful challenges, there will be plenty to discover as we launch a summer full of reading adventures.

Rewind to the animated movies that once lived on VHS shelves and after-school TV—beloved favorites from the past that parents may remember by heart (or almost). Reel Relics invites families to rediscover these forgotten gems together, sharing the magic, laughter, and memories with a new generation. Cozy up at the library and enjoy these throwback films. This week we are watching: "The Land Before Time" (1988). Rated G. Run Time: 70 minutes.

Tween & Teen

It’s messy. It’s creative. It’s prehistoric. Travel back in time and create a dinosaur egg using air-dry clay. Sculpt your egg adding cracks, textures, and other details before taking it home to dry and display. Perfect for teens who love dinos, art, or both.

Teen & Adult

Papotage & Cie is a program for French conversation practice with a French native speaker. The program is open to any teenager or adult who speaks some French and wants an informal and safe place to practice with others.

Do you have a passion for helping out in the community? Do you want to learn how to make no sew fleece blankets and toys for pets?

Materials for making the toys and blankets at the event will be available while supplies last. Please note: we cannot give out service or volunteer hours for this event.

Learn about decluttering without the guilt with realtor Tricia Winborn. Examine the emotional side and memories attached to the items we accumulate over the years. Discussions will center around ways to maintain the memories while releasing the item, should it be necessary to do so. You will leave this program with practical tips you can use right away in your own home.

Have You Been to the Tip Top?

One of Roseville's iconic locations for many decades was the Tip Top Tavern on Utica Rd just west of Gratiot Ave. The beloved neighborhood bar sadly burned to the ground in the 2000s but its legacy lives on at the Library. Our new Tip Top Cafe is a place to meet, socialize, relax, play a game of Chess or Checkers, and enjoy a snack or (non-alchoholic) drink. We've got plenty of seating options in the cafe and vending machines with a variety of snacks and cold drinks for sale. You are also welcome to bring your own food or drinks to enjoy in the cafe. When you need a break from studying or a quick bite to eat, we hope you will consider the Tip Top!

Vending machines accept cash, mobile payment, and most major credit and debit cards. Please note the machines do not return change on cash payments. Library staff do not stock nor maintain the vending machines. They are serviced by a third party (Continental), who can answer questions about pricing, stocked items, and other related concerns. You can reach them by phone - (855) 675-8247 - or by email - support@continentalserves.com

The Friends of the Library Used Book Sale is the place to go for the best prices in town on used books and more! DVDs and CDs are once again available for purchase as well.

The sale is open whenever the Library is open and you can conveniently pay for your items at the Checkout Desk. All proceeds from the book sale benefit the Library directly through the Friends' various initiatives. If you would like to donate your own gently used materials, you can drop them off at the Checkout Desk as well. Please see our rules about book donations and call the Library if you have further questions.

The Friends of the Library is a group of people who love their library. Most are Roseville residents or former residents. The group is overseen by a board of four officers who meet to discuss ways to support their library. If you want to volunteer for your public library, raise money for services, equipment, materials and programs not normally included in the annual budget and meet others who love their library, please consider joining the Friends. More information is available on the Friends page of the Library’s website or stop at the circulation desk in the Library.
