Highlights of the year 2022:
We were very excited to be able to hold programs in the library again! We continued to showcase talented artwork of people from the area. Check out our Facebook page or website for fun photos and videos of what we did this past year. In February we started collecting unrecyclable plastics through the Trex Program. We have turned in 500 pounds of plastic, and in return received a new Trex bench (for free) for use outside in the spring. We continue to do this and are very close to a second bench! We still provide wireless internet for free in the library and in the parking lot 24/7. Another new Storywalk was put up and greatly enjoyed by people at Whetstone Gulf State Park this summer.
