Youth News

farmbureaubarnThe Merrick County Farm Bureau has brought their Learning Barn Exhibit to
the library for a few weeks.  This interactive barn is filled with all kinds of
things that teach children about agriculture, machinery, animals, and related
topics.  Children are encouraged to play with the items and see how things
work.  Very small children should be accompanied by a parent for safety sake.
The display is located in the center area of the library.
