The library is collecting materials for a maker activity in the mornings this year the goal will be to create things gifts to give away. This program has proven to be very popular in the past and we are looking forward to making it even better this year. Students have made bracelets, wallets,rings and jewelry and many other very creative items out of recycled materials.
The library has been super busy with scholars teachers and parents browsing through the recent arrivals of brand new books, great young adult reads as well as some adult selections.
