Hello July🌤️
#DeValeraLibrary #EnnisLibrary #SummerAtTheLibrary #ClareLibraries

I’ve been whining about Summer Reading since last summer but I’m going to work on embracing the positive.

Today I made a little zine (fold a sheet of paper and make a book) with some tweens and library users and they were so excited.

I’m grateful for their joy. #summeratthelibrary
