Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's winter reading challenge. Hope you read some good books! Winners of both challenges (adults/kids) will be messaged and arrangements made for you to receive your prizes. The library appreciates our patrons :)

If you rent the community center it's nice of the library to provide a place for your children to play, but if it's left like this that goes bye-bye. Be responsible and have your children and yourselves leave it as you find it.

The 29th State was all new to me last week when Cindy Berns said she got Waterville involved. I didn't open my email from her for 2 days so when I realized I had 9 minutes to vote, and woke up to Waterville making it to the next round I was pleasantly surprised. So to have Waterville declared the winner is a bit shocking! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that saw the posts, voted and shared.

The little engine that could! One more vote, ends at 11:59 PM March 15. Go to the 29th State ATTENTION post And type Waterville in the comments. Thanks to all who have helped get Waterville this far and the most important thing at this point besides your vote is sharing. Fingers crossed, Northeast Iowa for the win.

And thank you to Cindy Berns, retired Postville librarian who submitted the City Of Waterville Iowa to the 29th State project and this competition.
