These PALS Picks are no tricks and ALL treats! 👻

We kicked off the fall season with our amazing PALS Pumpkin Patch and we’re keeping the fun going all month long in the children’s department.

Want to be involved with book recommendations, family events, and more children’s department fun? Our Junior Library Board (aka PALS) meets tonight, October 5 @ 6 PM. Come see what it’s all about!
