May

Congratulations to Makenna Lancaster and Mya Delgado, winners of last month’s Culver’s coloring contest! Enjoy your dodgeball and lantern!

We're getting ready for our Summer Reading Program! Hatchlings and Storytime won't start again till the end of June. In the meantime, we've gotten scads of new children's books in. Both Caldecott and Caldecott Honors books, noted for their excellent illustrations, and Newbery and Newbery Honors books, which are noted for being head and shoudlers above the average children's book. You'll find them on the "New Children's Books" shelf near the front desk - or ask a librarian for help.

What is WRLSWeb?  CardCatalog machines Many libraries in the Winding Rivers Library System have agreed to list the materials they own in a common catalog. We call this catalog WRLSWeb. Using the WRLSWeb catalog you can make requests for many of these materials and have the materials delivered to the Hatch Public Library.
