I often daydream about having a garden. I envision myself strolling through the rows of greenery, carefully tending the plants while the morning sun warms my shoulders. I can almost feel the smooth texture of the tomato, the daydream version of myself tenderly plucked just moments before. Ninety nine percent of the time, I am jolted back to reality by a ringing phone, a shutting door or my neighbor starting his truck for work. It is then I realize that my dream of being the ultimate gardener is just that. A dream. The jolt back to reality...

The first book in the series is titled “A...

Do you have a little bit of time to share your talent? Think about becoming a library volunteer. Thousands of volunteer hours are performed at the library each year. You, too, can become a volunteer.

Volunteers work side by side with staff performing everyday...
On her days off from work as a nurse, my mother would always take me somewhere fun. On nice days, we would go to Raystown swimming or we would go to the local park to swing on the swings and walk on the little walking trails. When the weather was inclement or when it was too cold to swim, we would go and feed the ducks at Colerain Park, or we would go to the library. I loved going to the library. Not only were there books, which I adored even then, but there was a magical thing that happened in a brightly painted room in the basement: storytime...
There are many people in our community who are facing new economic challenges because of the mandatory closure of businesses due to COVID-19.
