Sneak Peek of Fall

It's back to school...and back to library fall programing! As we start to gear up for the fall, we are also doing a little cleaning. And, as much as we have LOVED all the great terrariums and green inventions the time has come to say goodbye. So, if you still have a creation here at the library please pick it up by September 3rd. In order to keep things clean, we will have to dispose of any leftovers by the end of this week. Thanks so much for your help!
