Seasons greetings from all of us at WSPL!
 
I am wishing you all a safe and healthy holiday season as we head into what's looking to be a loooong winter. But worry not! I've listened to your feedback and I've planned lots of cozy, fun activities to keep you and your kids occupied during these cold days and long nights. 
 
If you have attended any of our programs recently, please take a moment to fill out this feedback form! I really do look at all the feedback, and it helps me to shape our upcoming programs to fit our community's needs.
 
Please remember, as always, registration is required for ALL programs! Drop-ins will be welcomed as long as there is space, but programs with low or no registration may be cancelled... so please, please register! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! 
 
Thank you all for being a part of our library's community!
