Nailed It! 
 
Only 2 spots left! How well can you create pretzel snowmen with the supplies given? You will be given a supply kit and in the next week, we want you to create your masterpiece. Take a picture of it and send to Nancy at nancym@byron.lib.il.us to be voted on by staff and the winner will get an Amazon gift card prize! Pictures are due by January 20th.
 
SAT Practice Test
 
High School students can prepare for the April SAT test by taking a free online practice test with C2 Education Geneva on January 23rd. The test begins at 12:30 pm and will take approximately 3 hours.  Once you register through the library, Nancy will send you paperwork from C2 that will need to be filled out prior to the test. C2 Education will then administer the online test. Juniors and seniors have first priority in taking this practice test.
