Hello,

Ross.   We enjoy the food and company that the meetings bring.  The next meeting is on March 17th around noon.  Come and join us in the fun.

Storyhour Fun

One of the story hour favorites is to sing the ABC’s. A new twist offered by one of the children is.. “A B C D E F G, wash those germs right off of me.” Silly songs are lots of fun but the fun really starts with Ring Around The Roses 4, 5, 6 times. 

Your child will laugh, listen and sing at the library. Join us.

Making them happy makes me happy…

19 people have signed up for the library’s first Book Club!  It has been a great start for the Book Club.  The first book chosen was “Angels & Demons” by Dan Brown (the author of “The Da Vinci Code”).  A light luncheon was held and a lively discussion was had.
