Spring Green, Plain, and Lone Rock Library Notes
Spring Green
By Emily Whitmore, Library Director
August is here! What a summer! We have been so busy at the Library keeping everyone in books and busy. But our Summer Reading Program is wrapping up on August 14 with a grand finale starting at 10:30a. And there will probably be a surprise or two to be had.
If anyone still has some Library Loot, they can use that to buy prizes until August 22. As I type this, we still have some pretty cool items.
After this, then Kate and all Library staff will enjoy a short programming break before we launch right into Fall and Winter! Which I am personally looking forward to.
As a quick preview for adults, I have two more craft programs, a biology professor coming to talk about large cats, and a class about sleep that was put together and provided through the UW Extension office.
I know August is the universal vacation month, so I hope everyone has safe and fantastic trips!
The library is open Monday through Thursdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
