After Christmas, our library dog, Rylee the Tail-Wagging Tutor, will become Rylee the Traveling Tutor, as she winters in Florida and meets boys and girls in the Sunshine State. She will return to the Gilman Library in May. While she is away, her Reading Boys and Girls are invited to follow her Blog on our website and correspond with her by postcards. Please ask at the Circulation Desk for details. Rylee’s Mom, Kim, will read each postcard to Rylee and respond.

Granny Apple (AKA Sandy Jackson) has retired and moved away to be closer to her grandchildren.  As we congratulate her and wish her well in her journey, the goodbye is bitter-sweet and has left a void in our hearts.

For the last several months, we have enjoyed the performances of  the "Everywhere Man" (AKA Philip Reilly), as he entertained children and families with singing, guitar music, and reading. He, too, is now no longer available, as he pursues his entertainment career.  

If you are interested becoming a Whimsy Corner Volunteer Reader, please speak with a staff member.  

If you are visiting the Whimsy Corner at the Gilman Library, with your grown-up, please ask for your Whimsy Corner Card. You can get a stamp on the card for each visit (and one on your hand, too if you'd like!). After ten visits and the card is full and you can pick a free prize, and get a new Whimsy Corner Card.
