Library Director Bonnie and Children's Librarian read stories about families. They children then were given a feather to write what they were most thankful for and then places in on a large turkey in the lobby of the library.
The library is very fortunate to have many dedicated parents and their young children, and area daycares that come regularly to our storytimes. We are most thankful for your loyalty.
