Y Preschool
library has a wide array of program-
ming ranging from robotics to author
visits to tutoring. The library’s Collabo-
ratory is especially fascinating; it has a
wide variety of craftmaking equipment
that can be used independently or in
classes they offer. I have used the Col-
laboratory to make shirt pins before
a few times; it is nice to have the op-
portunity to pursue these projects free
of cost. While story time for children
is nothing unique, I want to especially
highlight the story times run by retired
kindergarten teacher Mrs. Stowe, who
takes the students into the woods for
stories. I am sure the kids love hearing
the stories while also exploring nature.

When people hear of the Grange,
they often think about the wonderful
programming that it has for adults. I
have attended several events with the
Grange and really enjoy it. However,
I want to also highlight that they too
have made it a priority to serve our
kids and have a monthly play group for
young children.
