Should Any Calamity Befall
Did you know that we have our very own author here at the library? If you come into the library on Saturdays you will see Hannah behind the counter. She has completed her first book and if you happened to have missed her book signing last month she still has copies available. We also have a copy in the library for patrons to check out.
