April for rainbows and April for showers,
April for a bright hint of lovely May flowers.
April for nonsense and April for play,
Best of all times is a real April Day!
Welcome to April! It will be a busy month here at the library with all sorts of special things and events to celebrate. Coming up this month we have National Library Week, Poetry Month, Animals - Animals - Animals, and, of course Earth Day. Get ready to get involved! This week we start with National Library Week!
The theme this year, “Connect with Your Library”, promotes the idea that
libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband,
computers, and other resources. Most importantly libraries
connect us to each other.
And we have lots of ideas for getting you connected!
You are invited to:
Sign up for your very own library card!
Our library cards give you borrowing priviledges for three years so
it might be a good time to renew an older card as well.
We offer DVDs, audio books, public computers, Wi-Fi, a place to relax
and read, and a chance to meet your neighbors.
In addition, we have librarians to assist you and a ton of books!
