April Community Showcase Goes to the Dogs

Saint Bernards, that is.  The April display in the Community Showcase is presented by Bob and Kit Bostrom.  It’s quite a sight to see.

If you have a display you would like to share with the community, we encourage you to contact the library to get your name on the list.   We have open opportunities starting in June.
