This Tuesday was our last Story Hour of the spring season. Thanks to all who came to paint fireworks, march in our parade, and–of course–listen to some wonderful stories!
Tuesday mornings with our attendees have been a blast. We hope to see you again in the fall. (But in the meantime, check out some of our amazing firework art!)

You may have noticed that there are places to hang your jackets and bags as you walk through our downstairs hallway…
Our Multipurpose Room is also coming along as we continue to stock it with books!
Last but not least, we have our drop-down projector screen! Once audiovisual equipment is installed, this will be used for showing movies and delivering presentations.
Stay tuned for more!
Story Hour in our freshly-reopened Children’s Room was tons of fun today. Together, we made rainbows and storm sounds to celebrate April showers bringing May flowers!
Below is April’s remaining Story Hour schedule. Please join us!
We have new cabinets in our Children’s Room!

April-May Story Hour Schedule:
Even though we opened he Children’s room on January 22nd, today, we found it necessary to keep it closed just a bit longer. Our basement renovation is interfering with the use of the room.
We thank you for your understanding. ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Photo #2 of our basement renovation. Good progress being made.
We are currently undergoing renovation in our basement area. Unfortunately, the children’s room will be closed until January 22nd. Photos will be posted, so you can be part of the improvement and follow the progress.
Once completed, we will have a wonderful multipurpose room. We hope to introduce Movie Night among other things. Cabinets and shelves will complement the setup. This will also give the Book Sale room a new look.
Please excuse the noise that inevitably goes with renovations as you visit. We have a number of children’s books upstairs, so that the little ones won’t have to go without.
Meanwhile, we thank you for your patience.
