From the library... Spring is in the air, and everyone at the library is looking forward to saying goodbye to winter as we hop into April. April 23-29 is National Library Week, and this year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story,” which is so fitting because we have so much more to offer than books. If you don’t have a library card or know someone who doesn’t, now is the perfect time to sign-up and have access to all that we have to offer. We offer educational programs for all ages including: Bingo for Books, adult crafting, storytimes, LEGO Build!, Mechatronics Monday, and so many more events too numerous to mention. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, so if you haven’t visited us in a while, why not stop by and see what’s happening this month? April is Money Smart Month and National Poetry Month, and we are celebrating with some special programs, displays, and of course, books. Whether you want to hone your money management skills, or maybe check out some new poetry, we can help!
