Our library is proud to announce that the winners of our local Battle of the Books 2016 competition are the Nerds! This was a bittersweet victory as this was the last year that the returning champs were eligible to compete.

I'd also like to thank all of our participants and their families--I was blown away not only by how well you knew the books, but with how well you treated one another by being great sports. I walked away this year excited about leading you and already looking forward to the next year. My teams are rock stars!

There are forms at the circulation desk that make it quick and easy to donate. Simply ask for one of the forms, check a box or two, then mail or return the envelope to the library with your tax deductible donation.

During our Mother Goose on the Move Story Time this morning, we broke out the brand new bubble machine as a special treat for our young guests! And you guessed it--it was an instant hit! Be watching, it will make many more appearances during Story Times.

Children's Room visitors ages 6 to 11 spent an hour today building with Legos! Guest programmer Jack Falge led children for the hour and encouraged them to build with their imagination. This was the awesome result!

Congratulations to Flower's 1st Place team, The Nerds! These students battled to victory during Saturday's Battle of the Books competition. They will represent Flower Library in the regional competition in Gouverneur. Go NERDS!

The 2nd Place team was the Tremendously Cool Great Readers, followed by the Sandy Creek Sweethearts in 3rd Place.
