Thank you to our hardworking group of CU Kind Day volunteers from TBA Credit Union! They planted over 200 bulbs in our front gardens, collected two dozen bags of seeds from our pollinator gardens, and ended their day with an overall trash pickup of the grounds.

The next time you visit TBA Credit Union thank them for helping keep our library beautiful all year round :)

Department Head Andy Schuck and Marketing Manager Heather Brady stopped by last week to drop off the school's second Golden Book award (they won the highest participation prize in 2024) and certificates to all of the students that completed the program. Way to go, Stars!

And the first Golden Book in their trophy case had a space waiting right beside it!
