Summer is quickly approaching and the library is already making plans for our summer reading program. Starting June 1, the children can pick up their reading logs. A professional story teller will be visiting the library in July. More details will be released as time gets closer to summer.
The library has received several new books in the last week. “In To Deep” by Lee Child, “Paranoia” by James Patterson and “Far From Home” by Danielle Steel, are just a few new ones that are available for checkout.
Did you know that the library is not all about books? The library staff can make copies and send faxes for a small fee. It has computers for the public to use. Stop by and see what all you can do at the library. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Elliot Woodworth, Pete Rohde and August Woodworth repack the basic rockets for a second launch. The rocket program was initiated by Izzabella Rohde, the couple’s grandaughter and president of the STEM Club. She has attended space camp in Huntsville, AL and shared her interest in rocketry with her fellow STEM Club members. They will move on to more complex rockets where they cut and install fins, along with bigger engines to go highers and possibly carry a payload.
