Year: 2013

The library is updating it’s preschool activity bags and would love your donations of new or gently used puzzles, stuffed animals, dolls, action figures, etc.  These items will be paired with a book to make a themed activity bag that can be used in the library or checked out to take home.  One example might be a toy train and a book about Thomas the Tank Engine.  Or an ABC puzzle with an alphabet book.  The sky’s the limit.  We’re hoping families will use the bags to instill a love of books along with creative play.  For more information, to pick up a list of requested items or to drop off donations, please stop in the library during any regular hours.

To celebrate Earth Day, junior high students from Germantown Elementary swept through town, cleaning and beautifying the streets, yards and sidewalks of residents and businesses as they went.  We were lucky to have a hardworking group come to the library to clean windows and pull weeds.  It was a cold, damp day, but as you can see from the photos, they worked cheerfully and did a great job.  Thanks to them and all the young people who put in a lot of effort to keep Germantown looking good!
