WHO’S HIDING AROUND TOWN THIS YEAR?!?!?
Meet Whittier Beaver! Our busy, building friend will be hiding around town in various businesses from June 12th – August 8th. He is visible from the outside of the windows and will move to a new place each week (on Tuesday). If you spot him, come back to the library that week and let us know for a chance to entered into a raffle for cool local prizes!
