Mark your calendars for Family Story Time on Saturday, February 8th! This is a drop-in program.

So excited to learn that so many students participated in the summer reading program. Thank you @Walpublib for working so hard during the summer months to motivate students to keep reading!

Summer tip: Refresh your home library! Organize a kids’ book swap for your neighborhood or block. Here’s how: ow.ly/QiVZ30ky4EI #SummerReadingTips #SummerReading #Summer
