Your Library....Alive!, A Success!!!!!
Even the damp weather couldn't dampen our spirits!!!
Our "Your Library....Alive!", open house was a great success thanks to you. We had over 100 people attend, many of whom had never been to the library before. There was great entertainment, fun for all and lots of great food!
Thanks to Red Apple Farm for their generous donation of apples, cider and donuts. Thanks also to Emmm's bakery, Baldwinville Station and Hands On for Kids for their donations. Kudos to Caleb for the great wings and to all the cooks that made food for the day.
We all had a grand time learning origami, listening to bagpipe and drum music, checking out the old cars, petting the animals and seeing just how little we really know about our library with the trivia quiz!
Thanks again to all who came and we hope to see you often!!
