Egg-cellent Adventures
Do you crack up at eggs-tra special stories? Giggle yourself silly at funny yokes?

Turn your funny side up at this egg-ceptionally egg-citing story time. Please pre-register for this special kindergarten through second grade story time, or we’ll really have to scramble for supplies.
Pet care and responsibility
Spring is the time for puppies and kittens! One Wednesday, April 16, at 10:30 a.m., the Animal Protective Foundation will be visiting the library to teach young people about responsible pet care and ownership. The program will include an interactive lesson, an animal-themed craft and some special four-legged visitors. This program is intended for grades three through five, but all are welcome.

Last Chance
If you haven’t stopped by to enjoy our hallway and display case this month, please do so before they are gone. Our hallway has the civil war and barn quilt display, put together by John Elberfeld and Jane McLean. Our display case is filled with the most adorable frog collection, shared by Maeve Owens.
