If you need help finding information on your topic you should stop by the library. It's our job to help people find information. But maybe you don't have time to come in to the library. That's ok, you can get lots of information from home by using this website.

Spring is in full swing and that means Mother’s Day is on the way! Hey kids, don’t forget to let your mom, grandma, aunt or other special mother-figure in your life how important they are to you and how much you love them. Handmade cards and gifts are always more personal and special. Take it from a mom who knows.

Grumpy Bird

Sarah MacLean — Fri, 8 Feb 2008 16:55:57 -0500

I fell in love with the book Grumpy Bird instantly. The comical drawing of a little grumpy blue bird on the cover with the bright yellow background caught my eye. I pulled it off the new book cart and read the first page. The main character, Bird, wakes up one day and is grumpy. He is so grumpy he doesn't even want to fly, instead he decides to walk.
