Booked the author, Bruce Arant, to do a writing/illustrating workshop during the summer reading program.
Possible Foam Party for the Fair Event – something different would be great, but Peggy will contact other local libraries to see if there is any other interest. Peggy will reach out to ROAR to see if there is any interest in them assisting with this event. All Library Board members are in agreement that the Foam party would be great! Peggy will contact the company to see if they are still available. Discussion was made on the best time to have the event, all were in agreement that Friday night of the fair is probably the best. The next discussion was on where to host the event, the school or the park. Most agreed it would be nice to have it at the city park.
