A few months ago, one of the regulars at my branch asked me to speak to a retirees’ group she belongs to about the library and all it has to offer. Here’s a shot from after I finished speaking…
For the past few weeks, we’ve had another good visit with my Aunt Sandi who comes out from BC every spring to spend time with us. Here’s a shot from one of her first visits the year Pace turned one…
