This week marks the celebration of National Library Week. We did not specifically make plans for the week, however we encourage you stop by. Have you ever used or looked at the online catalog? We would be happy to ‘take you on a tour’ – be sure to stop in and see what your library can do for you.
Almost 60 children attended the final Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program last week. We extend our thanks to the NCHS Future Business Leaders of America for their dedication and help in making our program lots of fun each year. Thank you also to Children’s Librarian, Yvonne Jensen for creating the programs and Friends of the Library members Karen Titchener, Joan Lenz, Zola Bolin, Linda Decker, Traci Bruegger and Cindy Cushman for bringing this program to our library.
