Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, July 17, 2015

Thank you to everyone who stopped in to the Westerlo Public Library on Saturday, July 11, for Girl Scout Troop 1056’s bake sale. This fund-raising event was part of the girls’ Bronze Award community service project.

The girls have already done quite a bit to help us make our new program room more useful and more comfortable. Two portable storage bins for children’s craft supplies were donated, artwork that they created themselves has been hung, and flowers were planted outside.

The girls are also volunteering their time helping with children’s programs.  The Bronze Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. It is earned with courage, confidence, and character, and making a difference in the world around you.  Thank you, Girls.

Summer reading program

Our 2015 Summer Reading Program began on Monday, July 6. With the theme “Every Hero Has a Story,” we will explore the everyday heroes that are in our own community. These unsung heroes make a difference in the lives of others every day and their stories of quiet heroism will inspire us all.  

Registration is ongoing and a full calendar of events is available at the link on our website – www.westerlolibrary.org.
