Building a Better World at the Library

The library had another great Summer Reading Program this year. The theme was “Build a Better World” and our 40 participants were eager to start. They learned 10 things they can do to better our world, what can be recycled, where our local recycle bins are, and how they can make toys and crafts from trash items.

The library staff also demonstrated why it is important to wear a construction hat, which may have included fake bricks falling on my head and an ungraceful fall to the ground.
