The spring sessions of afterschool programs have ended for the first through fifth grades. Around 25 children participated in the 7-week adventure hosted by Children’s Librarian, Yvonne Jensen with help from volunteer, Hilary Kruse. The younger children experienced the magic of Tomie DePaola’s books and the older children became sleuth detectives and secret agents with Adam Sharp the series character created by George Edward Stanley. Yvonne is now busy planning our summer reading program featuring “Dragons.” Watch for more details.
Income tax forms as well as IRS publications are available at the library. Many forms are available at no charge; however some require a copying charge. Forms and publications are also available online at http://www.irs.gov.
The Friends of the Library reordered their cookbook “Favorite Recipes.” Originally published in 2002 the book is full of recipes of many of Niobrara County’s finest.

Copies are available at the library.
