And these days libraries offer even more—a host of activities and services that cost you nothing. As part of the annual Woman’s Day/ American Library Association essay contest, we announce four winners who found big savings— and even changed their lives—at their local library.” The full article is online at: Women's Day.

We still need.....

Our "Teen Spa Day" will be here before you know it--April 8th from 1-2:30. Come and pamper yourself at the library. We will make 3 spa products for you to take home and enjoy as well as learn some relaxation techniques to help us manage the many stresses in our lives. There are a few items we are still in need of and I wanted to remind you to bring them to the library:

-baby food jars

-bigger jars (such as pickle, salad dressing, etc)

-used/worn pantyhose

If you have any of these items laying around--please see Emily or bring them into me at the library!! Thanks!
