Newsletter April 2026
Newsletter
Spring has officially settled in on the mesa — the kind that smells like dirt and possibility and makes it hard to stay inside. Good thing we've given you plenty of reasons to come in anyway. April is in full swing at Lone Cone Library, and we've got something going on just about every week.
From kids getting hands-on with science to adults making things, moving their bodies, and exploring the night sky — this month has a little bit of everything. Take a look and come see us soon.
