April 3 Morning Mystery Invite

On Saturday April 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Library continues Main Street’s celebration of the April “First Friday” event by providing a delightful and challenging “Morning Mystery” for children.  Just by following all the clues provided, out on the Library lawn, children can find the solution to the Mystery!

Families are invited to come, social distancing and masked if there is a “crowd” and enjoy.  Stop in at 10 a.m. and enjoy!

Spy on the Story Stroll

The March Story Stroll book is “How to Catch A Leprechaun” by Adam Wallace.  As you stroll around, you won’t need boots right now!  Take a look!  See if you can spy a very special object in the pictures.  It could be coins, perhaps a gold shoe buckle, a leprechaun or other fun objects.  Don’t miss your chance to  “catch a leprechaun” before it disappears!
