Every Friday we sing songs, read stories, and do lots of crafting. We would love for you to join us on one of these beautiful spring mornings. Teen Scene: While there is always a lot of excitement around the Teen department, last week was especially exciting as the TAB has started to plan the Teen Summer Reading Challenge activities, and we also hosted our first May the Fourth Social. Star Wars fans united at our May the Fourth Social, where we made our own lightsabers, Yoda origami, and wookie cookies, and then battled it out in many rounds of Kahoot! A lot of laughs and a couple of light-hearted lightsaber battles made for an excellent evening. Writer's Café will continue May 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st from 3:30-4:30pm.
