Owl About Town

Owlfred is ready to spread his wings spring is here! 🌸

With the warmer weather rolling in, he’s discovering even more reasons to visit the library beyond storytime and special events. Lately, you’ll find him perched outside on the patio near the Youth Services area, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the fresh spring air.

It’s the perfect spot to relax with a good book, challenge your family to a game of chess, or simply unwind and enjoy the beautiful weather together.
