The Friends were happy to be part of the Summer Carnival at the Chandler Library on June 3! The fun afternoon of activities served as the kickoff to the library's summer reading program. Thank you to Friends president Kathy Bartelt for coordinating our booth and for manning the bean bag toss, which was a huge hit with participants.
