HOO is ready for Library Day? We are!

Calling all bookworms and nature enthusiasts!

Join us for a magical collaboration between the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library and Wesselman Woods as we embark on a journey that combines the wonder of literature with the beauty of the great outdoors on Saturday, August 3.


Come to Wesselman Woods on this day and flash any regional library card at the front desk to get into the Nature Center for free. Once you're inside the gates, you and your family can enjoy a day of hikes, story time, and animal encounters.

No library card? No problem!

Vanderburgh County residents can sign up for a library card with the EVPL Outreach Team from 10 AM to 2 PM.
