High Demand Book Bins at the Hills Branch!

Head for the Hills Branch to check out the new high-demand book bins that have been added to the children's collection in the Jack Ramsden Children's Room! These book bins will help patrons and parents easily answer their children's "where are the truck books" type questions! Current bin topics include: Farm, Pirates, Princesses, Superheros!, Trains and Trucks.

The goal of these bins are to empower parents and our youngest patrons to quickly and easily find books on these highly requested topics. We'd love to hear your feedback and let us know what you think of these new bins and if there are other topics you'd like to see in the future. Check out the pictures below of the new bins and the fabulous illustrations that accompany them done by our very talented Children's Department Director!

Gardening at the Hills Branch

We finished our month-long gardening unit by planting flowers during our Wednesday Storycraft
session.  We learned about dirt, worms and bugs, seeds, plants, grass, and flowers.  Finally, we
were ready to plant.  Come by the Hills branch and see our garden!

"This has been a great culmination to our gardening unit!" - Joyce
