We will be hosting a fundraiser at the library Friday, April 6. Joining us will be Alice, the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, and many more characters as we work to solve the murder of Tweedledee. That’s right, a murder mystery dinner at the library! Enjoy a smoked pork chop dinner, dessert and a chance to solve the mystery. Tickets are $25.00 each, space is limited, so don’t delay! Call your friends and fill a table. Paid reservations available at the library until March 23rd. All sales are final.
The funds raised will go toward the purchase of instruments for a permanent music garden on the east lawn of the library. This music garden will open to the community and is for all ages to enjoy. We will be getting a color coded chime with a song book and mallet [see pictures below], a marimba, Pagoda bells, and two flowers, each with different petal notes. Donations are also being accepted for the purchase of instruments and large donations will be acknowledged on a plaque in the garden. To find out more about the music garden and how you can help, please contact the library.
All of this was inspired by our 2018 summer reading theme “Libraries Rock”.

We had messy fun making Oobleck. Who knew cornstarch and water could be so much fun? And you thought it was just for making gravy!
We did have instructions, you can’t just dump them together willy nilly. And fingers are great for mixing the ingredients, and did they get a work out! Mixing and stirring and mixing over and over again. The question is are we stirring a liquid or mixing a solid? Well, it is BOTH! It’s OOBLECK! A term for goo/goop first coined by Dr. Suess in His 1949 book And later accepted as an actual science term. Pick it up, it runs like a liquid, but fist bump it and it reacts like a solid…what? OOBLECK is a non- Newtonian fluid because it does not fit the parameters set by Newton’s definition of a fluid. And now you know.
