Walnut Public Library

We had a special job fulfilled by our little library helpers this week! 🌱

While we've been busy getting the Children's library back in order our little helpers assisted with our outdoor duties. Their little hands completed a big job and their help was a blessing to our library staff.

We are so thankful for the many community members who took time out of their day to help unload our new circulation desk from the trailer. A few of our very handy community members have also spent many hours this week modifying, assembling, and getting it ready to serve the youngest members of our community. We truly appreciate everyone who has helped make this project possible and your continued support while we work through construction! ❤️

While we finish up the work downstairs, be sure to check out the scarecrows in our front window as they await the Fall Fest celebration! 🍂🎃

Stop into the library during Fall Fest and order a copy of Small Town Secrets our community cookbook! These will make wonderful Christmas gifts.🌲

And our mums are blooming beautifully! 🌼 Soon enough, those boxes will be filled with gorgeous fall colors, adding even more autumn charm to the library. 🍁📚

We can't wait to welcome everyone back downstairs!
