Looking for something to read? Check this book out!

Celebrate military families and all they do when their loved ones are away on duty in this lyrical and timeless tale.

Whether in the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Army or Marines, the brave people serving the country also have family serving in important ways back home. With beautiful text and gorgeous watercolor paintings, It Takes a Family to Serve shines a light on the work and dedication of families waiting for their loved ones to come back to them, while they take care of a beloved pet, attend a special event or raise a grandchild.
This book is available at the Tolono Public Library District!

Meet the Tolono Public Library District Board!
Michelle Reed moved to Champaign County in 2021 and joined the Tolono Library Board in 2025. She joined the Board because she wanted to spend time volunteering in her community and thought her expertise from working in and for libraries could be useful to her local library.
After over a decade working in academic libraries, Michelle joined Library Futures three years ago. The nonprofit organization advocates for an equitable digital future for libraries. As Director of Programs, Michelle oversees an internship program for the next generation of information professionals and leaders in advocacy, law, policy, and research. She also coordinates research grants and manages the organization’s online education offerings, which include booktalks, panels, and interactive resources.
Outside of work, Michelle enjoys getting her hands dirty as an avid gardener. Her current project is converting her lawn into a native pollinator garden with future goals of expanding her vegetable garden and planting more Redbud trees. She recently read What an Owl Knows and is thankful to the library for feeding her bird obsession!

Program Highlights this week!
Diagnosing the Garden -
"Gardens and greenery can often be home to wilting flowers or dying leaves. Even the youngest of children have a chance to save struggling plant-life through the power of observation! In this hands-on activity, children conduct field research as plant biologists. Everyone will get a chance to share what they discover, and the young scientists will use their observations to create real solutions! This is a great way to have fun while being a life-saving biologist!"

RuPaul's Drag Race Trivia -
Come for a fun evening to test your knowledge of RuPaul's Drag Race and All Stars. Dress in to impress for extra points. Prizes for the top scorers. Start your engines may the best diva win!

Mirco Marvels -
Explore different types of insects and other small, crawly creatures through their life cycles, unique adaptations and roles in the environment through this interactive experience with BUGS!
