Ah, LOOK OUT, there's a SPIDER in the library!
We are gearing up for our big fun Halloween party on Saturday from 9am-12pm with a Storytime at 10:30am. Everyday we will post a picture of a craft or activity you can do while here. Today's post shows the spider you can make to take home.

There was a great turn out for the Allen Eskens speaking event at the Lodge in Steamboat Rock last night. He shared with us, through some humor, stories of his life leading up to becoming an award winning author of "The Life We Bury". There was a Q&A afterward with time to buy his books from Perennial Pages and get an autograph. Thank you to the Hardin County Librarians, Hardin County Community Endowment Foundation, and Hardin County Conservation for making this event possible.
