Hello South Country Community,
 
Here's another bonanza of crafts and activities for families with children. Hey adults, don't miss the upcoming programs to help you start gardening, no matter what color your thumb is. Finally, teens entering grades six through nine -- it's time to sign up for Battle of the Books!
 
The library will be closed on Monday, May 31 in observance of Memorial Day.
 
We hope you've been able to enjoy this lovely weather.
