A Refurbished Children’s Library
The Gismondi Foundation recently awarded the library a grant to refurbish the children’s library. The room looks great, with three new tables, a game storage cabinet, a reading nook, and new shelving. There’s more space for kids and parents to explore and play together, and our cozy new reading spots are specially designed for smaller humans.
