We are very excited to start our Anti-Bullying project this Wednesday February 4 at 3:30-4:30 so be sure to send you kids down to the library for fun, activities, and snacks! Every Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 we will be working on a part to teach kids to not be Bullies and what happen to children that are Bullied.

Nola and I have been very busy filling out reports and survey’s that are due here in February. I am happy to announce I think we have filled them all out! Hopefully. Now we can focus on getting our Anti-Bulling program started for the Kids. We hope to start the Program in February.

The Library will be Closed this Monday January 19, 2015 in observation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

It occurred to both Erika and myself today, that we need more publicity at the Walthill Public Library. Yes, we love kids, but offer services to all reading levels. We have a good amount of books, and plan on purchasing even more. We have Overdrive for those who like to read e-books, and it is free of charge. We have the daily newspaper, and the coffee pot is almost always on. Stop in and see for yourself!!!!
