Bookmarks, designed by children patrons, are available for $1.00 each! There are five (5) very colorful designs to choose from to help you keep your place in your book! We asked the children to create a bookmark about what Chrisman and reading meant to them. (A couple of them have cardinals on them, representing Chrisman) We are pretty proud of these patrons!
Megan from Douglas-Hart Nature Center was here last Wednesday. The kids were really having a fine time and showed Miss Megan how much they already knew about wildlife habitats. Everybody had fun and they even got to pet Willard the turtle! We adults left that to the kids!

ADULT REVIEWS:
“One Dog Night” by David Rosenfelt; review by D. “This book is the 9th book in the Andy Carpenter series. Andy is a defense attorney that always seems to take on clients who have overwhelming evidence of their guilt. This case was on a fire that killed 26 people. Andy’s client is accused of being the arsonist.
The case ended up involving many people in very high places. The fire was set to cover up knowledge of materials detrimental to National Security.” D’s favorite part would obviously be when the client is found to be innocent and is reunited with his family – and his dog.
