The closing programs worked on using or repurposing old house hold items into crafts. All classes participated in turning some of the old donation books headed for a landfill into adorable woodland creatures.

This year was a great success and hope to create more wonderful moments for the future generations of Marshall County.

'From the top of the book shelves to the bottom of our hearts thank you to all volunteers, donors and patrons that helped make this year’s Summer Reading Program possible.'
