Grand finale with Library Buds



It was our last session with the Library Buds. All of them received certificates and the graduating buds (7th graders) received a journal. The Library Buds program will resume in the Fall. This is a program where children in 4th-7th grades learn about the behind-the-scenes activities in the Children's room. We are looking forward to working with the Buds again in the Fall.
