The end of the school year is only TWO DAYS AWAY!!
At the Library, we’re trying to get all the books back on the shelves before you all go away for Summer vacation. Please check your bookshelves, your bedrooms, under your beds, your desks, your cubbies… even your Grandma’s house. Look anywhere and everywhere and bring them on in. If you and your folks can’t make it during business hours, use the white drop box located to the right of the front door.
Thanks a bunch and have a great Summer!
