There are also volunteers that help with various jobs at the library.

While at the library you can play a variety of computer games, build with legos on the lego table, work with puzzles, play with the Library’s puppets and put on a puppet show.

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.
