Children's Library Programs
School is back in session, and our school buses have gotten lost in the Children's Department! Stop by the library during August and see if you can find all of the hidden buses. Pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the Children's Desk, then search high and low to complete the challenge and earn a small prize.
