Hello Dragons!

I want to wish you all a wonderful Spring break! The books and I will miss you but look forward to all that will be happening when we get back. We will learn about gardening! We will read great books on plant growth and even watch plants grow in our library! It is that part of the year when things will be wrapping up and we will be getting ready for our Spring Literati book fair in May. As a reminder, all books that are lost or missing will need to be taken care of, either by replacing with another copy of the same title (hardcover) or by paying for the book. You may contact me if you have any questions regarding missing books. Enjoy a good book this break!

Also, happening at the El Dorado County library:

Easter Picnic and Egg Hunt – With special guest Author Erin Dealey

Come join us on Saturday, April 8th @12PM for a super fun event, featuring children’s author Erin Dealey! We’ll have a storytime and an Egg Hunt. Bring your own lunch and picnic blanket- weather permitting. Finger crossed we’ll be outside in the sunshine!
