GAMES!
Our discovery during the summer reading program
is that kids still really love hands on activities and it isn't
all computer screens. We have received a donation of popular
board games for all ages to enjoy at the library. We also would
appreciate the donation of gently used Legos to add to the after
school activity choices. Please drop them by when it's convenient.
Many thanks!
