What’s Happening at the Walthill Library?

We have been looking out our large windows and seeing the progress of the Teepee shelter across the street from us each week. The shelter was donated and has been installed on the east corner of the park, across the street from the Walthill Public Library. At first, I wondered–if it was going to be […]

Looking Out

As hot as it has been this past few weeks, I find myself looking out the library windows more often than actually going outside. What do I see? The first thing I see is the Te-pee Shelter that is being installed right across the street from the Walthill Library. I have enjoyed watching the progress […]

Off and Running

March is close to being half over and I just got back to using our word press account again. Technology and myself have a mixed relationship. Sometimes we are friends and other times not so much. So, I thought I would start off by saying, I am excited about the upcoming events that will be […]

I guess that officially means we are settled in. The new meeting room is finished, and […]

WE DID IT! I’M STILL AMAZED!!!

We have moved into our beautiful new library at 323 Main Street in Walthill.  It is hard for me to believe that the “Old Fire Hall” was transformed into the beautiful building we have now.  The new building is bright and cheerful and much larger, than the older one room library we have lived in […]

Coming Along!

Just stopped in to check on the progress of the new library building. One of the construction team said, “It’s Coming Along.” Yes It is! There are new changes everyday now. The siding is up and it looks awesome.  The sheet rock is almost ready for painting, and soon the electric and plumbing fixtures will be installed. […]

Moving On!

On Sunday, I looked out the window and noticed that many of the barn swallows were gathered on the electric wire in front of our  house. We are always amazed to see so many birds gathered in one spot–ready for their long journey.  The day after they leave, is always a little sad and quiet on the farm. Just […]
