Volunteers are wanted 

at Whimsy Corner
for Story Time readers.

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.  

Enjoy the movie with family and friends!  

Saturday Morning Movie will be shown one Saturday a month 

and starts at 10:30 am. 

It's nice to just kick back, relax, and watch a movie with your friends. 

Youth Movie will be held on one 

 Tuesday each month, 

starting at 3:30 pm.
