Yikes! Many apologies for my lax efforts in updating this blog. December was a super busy month here in the YA department - many thanks to all of you who participated in all of the programs.
Make sure you stop by the YA desk any time now to pick up a copy of the winter events calendar. Lot's of good stuff is coming up including a return to our Candy Counting Contest in February!
