Volunteers continue to work on the ECC Playground Project. Kelly & Evie Bodermann and Rachel & Samara Haeflinger have been working hard to get the activities painted on the asphalt. Their efforts are very much appreciated!
We also are still raising money to pay for this project. We still need $3,000 to cover the cost of the asphalt, templates, paints and paint supplies. You can leave donations off at the City Clerk's Office or the Elma Library. If writing a check please make it out to: City of Elma-ECC Playground Project.
Thanks!

Thank you to our Mayor, Randy Thoren for putting up the library's sign next to our children's bench outside. The names listed on the plaque had memorials given to the library and we used the money to purchase the children's bench. It's a wonderful remembrance for the loved ones we've lost. Thank you to families, friends and neighbors who may have made a donation to the library in memory of one of the people listed on the plaque.

The Elma Library held a belated, indoor Easter Egg Hunt for the Elma Daycare on April 22. We had 15 children come hunt for eggs in the library, play games, do a craft, sing and did a round robbin chant of "Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar". We had a lot of fun!

Elma Library just had Ruthann Zimmerman, her husband, Alvin and two of their boys join us for a very entertaining and enjoyable author visit. Ruthann read a couple of chapters from her book "The Heart of the Homestead", took questions, signed books and visited one-on-one with some of our audience. It was a great pleasure to have Ruthann and some of her family share her wonderful book. We look forward to having Ruthann back in 2027 when her cookbook goes on sale!
