We had a Winter Solstice Storytime and enjoyed a walk through the trail on the night of the Winter Solstice and enjoyed hot chocolate afterwards. Around 50 people attended.

VolunTeens is service focused club for young people ages 13 and up. We gather to complete projects and activities to support local and nationwide charities and organizations. Activities have included: creating decorations for library events, encouragement cards for community members, and making toys for an animal shelter.
