(October Edition)

Where did October go? What an awesome month in the library! The kiddos learned a lot and had so much fun in the process! Between our author visit, the Lonestar Storytelling festival, and the fall Book Fair, the library was buzzing with action.  Check out what happened in the Sonntag library for the month of October. Happy reading! :)
