Between the Stacks

This week we enjoyed dancing and tumbling with the Christensen School of Dance on Wednesday. Allissa and her crew brought mats and let everyone tryout different types of tumbling. There was also a dance demonstration for everyone!

The puppets are coming! The puppets are coming! Markie Scholz and her dragon puppets will be here for their annual show on June 27th at 10:30 a.m. for our weekly Summer Reading Program.

Many thanks to the Whitehall Garden Club and Karen Ranta for a wonderful afternoon of faerie garden making last week. Everyone had a wonderful time and made a great gift to take home for the summer. We always appreciate all of our friends in the garden club and all that they do for the children in our summer reading program.
