March Madness!

Spring is here and along with that we have had every type of weather imaginable. One day we have freezing temperatures and the next day I need galoshes to skip through the puddles of water everywhere.

Spring break is this month! Whoop Whoop!! As if I needed to tell you.

Women's History Month

Spring into March and celebrate Women's History month. The library has purchased a lot of books about inspiring women and their amazing contributions to our country and beyond. Look for them in the teen section near the graphic novels!
