Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone!  The library is up and running and looking forward to visitors.  I will not be sending out overdue notices this week as we are just coming back from a break and everyone needs a chance to get settled into routines again.

I will be making some small changes to our blog in the coming month and will share those changes with classes as they happen.

January is great month to cozy up with a good book
