Early Voting Rocked!

Early voters came out November 1 for an amazing 4 hour wait to cast the ballot. We are proud of all of our voters! The line wrapped around the building. Between the band in the front lawn and the impromptu kids' football game in back, we had a community event.

Ant Attack!

Malcolm, creator of the giant cut-out ant, poses with his friend at the library. As a part of the Summer Reading Program, Malcolm formed this giant ant to promote reading. Though the program is over, we have no desire to take down our giant friend yet.
