We are working really hard to get our library open in July. Our volunteers have been working to get the books ready for the "Lending Library."

We are in need of some stuffed animals for the shelves especially Clifford, Barney and zoo animals. If you have one you would like to donate to our library, please let me know. We will also have a time each week that your child's class will visit the library for "Reading Times with Mrs. Kay."
