Books, Books, and More Books...
(AND an array of activities!)
Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find
the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use
a library, the doors to learning are always open. -Laura Bush
June Bugs!

Families are welcome to stay for a picnic lunch in our quiet, shaded backyard space, or head into the library to look for some great books! Registration suggested. Please call the library. Rain or inclement weather cancels. * With a special visit from the Beeman! |
Story Walk There will also be a story walk near the fence behind the library, which will be up throughout the month. Stop by and read the story and perhaps have a picnic behind the library…we have a picnic table with an umbrella, a few benches, and plenty of space to throw down a blanket and relax. The book will be "A Good Day" by Kevin Henkes and it will be up throughout the month of June.
