Tex enjoyed picking out many books for her
students.
After picking out
some books with Mrs. Normann-Petersen he got to play with the legos, the
puppets, the barn animals, help work on a puzzle, and finally play a game on
the computer…his favorite!
Before leaving the
library Mrs. Normann-Petersen showed Tex where the high school and college students
sit to do their homework and/or study for a test.
