Happy (almost) spring!

Wow! I really enjoyed seeing lots of new faces at library events in February. It was a busy month, and I'm glad to have welcomed so many people to events at our libraries. Our cookie decorating class, Local Author Fair, and hosting Urban Jazz Coalition at the Black History Month Celebration were just a few of the highlights.

Our Paint Night events have become very popular. I noticed while assembling information for the newsletter that 6 of our 9 locations have paint events in March! Whether painting or something else, I hope to see you soon at one of our March events. If you ever have an idea for something you'd like to see at the library, just let me know. And as always, all of our events are free and open to the public, though some require registration.
