We`d like to extend a HUGE thanks to the gracious Mayor J. William Reynolds for stopping by and reading a whopping 6 books today at BAPL Main! I almost lost count of how many books, he just kept going!
He also brought his baby Leo, and it was little Leo`s first visit to the library!
Thanks again! We feel so lucky to have a mayor who can take time out of his busy schedule to visit the library. πππ
Join us in learning about the weather! Why does it rain? Why is it cloudy? We`ll learn all about weather through stories presented by local meteorologist Kellie McGlynn. You can ask her all your questions!
PLEASE NOTE: If it is a busy weather day, Kellie will have to be at work. A librarian will read in her stead.
No registration is required. This event will be held in the Youth Services Department on the 2nd floor of the Main Library (11 West Church Street).
