We’d like to give a huge shoutout to our amazing intern, Eva!

This summer, Eva has been creating eye-catching flyers, assisting at all of our Teen programs, and bringing incredible motivation, enthusiasm, and FUN to everything she does. Whether she was helping behind the scenes, interacting with the teens attending programs, or shelving, she was always ready to lend a hand with a positive attitude and a smile.

We are so grateful for all of Eva's hard work and dedication this summer. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our library team! We wish you all the best in your first year of college. Please join us in thanking Eva for a fantastic summer! 📚💙

Big thanks to Scott Koepke, founder of Garden Bridge Outreach, for doing another amazing program for us! We enjoyed getting to learn about the importance of soil, as well as our role in protecting it. We also loved getting to meet his red wiggler worms and hearing what they had to say!
