While there isn't really ever a lull in library programming, I feel safe in saying that things are just a little more quiet post-holiday season. However, Spring has sprung and that means things are gearing up for summer and much more.

  • Teen Book Con! Held every year, Teen Book Con is a free book convention just for teens. For legal reasons, I can't drive anyone there but I will be there to meet up and guide you around to hear authors talk about their new books and to hold your stuff while you stand in signing lines at the end of the day!
