Early entry is from 10-11am, with a ticket, and the swap opens to the public at 11:30am. See you there!

We were lucky enough to be included in Kenton Elementary's 4th grade tour of important spots in their hometown! After hearing a story Called "The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be" the students all used their unique creativity to create hot air balloons. They are displayed at the library through June 1st and they can come pick them up any time after that during our Summer Reading Program!
