At the Library
Get ready—something big is coming! Creativity Commons will close starting July 4 for a few weeks as we move into an exciting new 3,000-square-foot makerspace at the Centerville Library—three times larger than our current space.
You’ll still find your favorite equipment, plus amazing new additions like a classroom, podcast studio, embroidery machine, laser welder, water jet cutter, glass kiln, and even an outdoor space! We can’t wait to welcome you back to our expanded, innovation-filled home when we reopen in late summer.
Adventure Academy is a fun online learning world for kids ages 8–13 where education feels like play. In this interactive video game, kids explore, meet other kids, and complete quests while building skills in reading, math, science, and more.
Provided free by Washington-Centerville Public Library, it offers a safe space with parental controls for peace of mind. If your child loves video games, they’ll love Adventure Academy—and you’ll love how much they learn along the way.
Our book discussion groups are open to everyone, anytime—just drop in when it fits your schedule. Join Booked for Lunch at midday, meet at Rumbleseat Wine for a relaxed off‑site conversation, or stop by our lunchtime group at the RecPlex.
Prefer mornings, afternoons, or evenings? We offer those too, so there’s always a time that works. And if you’d rather chat from home, join our Facebook book discussion on Monday nights for lively, librarian‑hosted recommendations and conversation.
Start your child’s reading journey with 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten! Simply read any book—yes, even favorites over and over—and track your progress. Every 250 books earns a fun prize, keeping little readers motivated along the way.
Reaching 1,000 books is easier than you think and builds early literacy skills. Stop by the library to pick up your tracker and get started today. Share stories, build memories, and give your child a strong start for kindergarten success.
Big things are happening at the Centerville Library as we enter the final months of renovation! New spaces like the teen area and Creativity Commons are taking shape, flooring is going in, and exterior panels are rising. Restrooms are under construction, and the children’s outdoor space is nearly complete.
Best of all, the library remains open during construction. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our grand opening later this summer—stay tuned for exciting details!
“Proud to Be Home” celebrates the unique collaboration that makes Washington Township and Centerville thrive. Behind the scenes, your local partners—including the Township, Schools, City, Park District, and Library—work together seamlessly to support residents, businesses, and shared goals.
This spirit of teamwork creates a community that simply feels different—connected, responsive, and forward-thinking. It’s more than services; it’s a shared commitment to quality of life. “Proud to be Home” highlights the trust, cooperation, and pride that make our community truly feel like home.
