The library still has many events and story times planned for those in the area, hopefully you will take advantage of these programs. If you do not know what is coming up go by the library and pick up a calendar for the upcoming weeks.

There are still VBS’s going on in the area and children learn from these as well as having fun and enjoying being with other young people as well as the adults which have classes also.

Prayers for you and your family in the coming days and be sure to stay well hydrated if you are outside for long periods as it has been really hot and dry. Remember as you go about your daily life if there is someone who might be less fortunate take time to visit, call, or send a card to them. They would really appreciate it.
