​We were SO glad to see so many smiling faces at our most recent Storytime program! We sang songs (with felt board props), shook the shakers, and banged the rhythm sticks. Then we read a super funny story and made some delicious looking paper cupcakes... YUM!
Join us every Thursday at 11am for this awesome program.

"The bride ‧ The plus one ‧ The best man ‧ The wedding planner ‧ The bridesmaid ‧ The body

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
​But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?"

We had the BEST time yesterday at our Touch A Semi-Truck program! Charlie from MPS Egg Farms drove out and gave a special presentation on trucking, then the kiddos got to get up close and personal with a real life semi-truck! They got to explore the cab, check out what's beneath the hood, hear the horn, and even push some buttons! Thanks to everyone who came for this FANTASTIC event!

​Make some blossoms (and the vase to hold them) entirely out of a discarded book!

Pick up a kit at the library or grab an unwanted book to upcycle and tune into Facebook today at 6pm for the tutorial.
