Summer Reading Club

Curious if anything is happening at the library this summer? It’s strange but true that crocodiles, monsters, aliens, and magic will be taking over Vernon Branch.

Family Literacy Week

We started off Family Literacy Week with a storytime featuring both Judy and myself (Stephanie).

 

 

 

 

 

Then we had the Harry Potter party where more than twice as many people than those registered showed up for some wizarding fun.

Why not continue to celebrate Family Literacy Week coming to board games today at 3:30 or the writing club tomorrow at 3:30. Or you can drop in to one of our many storytimes.
