The leafless trees in this picture are such a stark contrast to the colorful trees I took a picture of in the autumn!

Children's Section at the Lakewood Library

The Lakewood Library was closed for awhile last month and reopened on January 3rd. They rearranged a lot of things and did some painting, too. Things are more "open." Some of it is very nice, and you can see they worked very hard on it and were thoughtful about the choices they made. For some people, though, so far it feels too "busy" and doesn't give the nice safe, cozy feeling that a library should give. Maybe it will feel better as we get used to it.

One area that was changed was the children's section. They moved it across the room to the other side. It's been in the other spot for as long as I can remember, so this is a big change. Here is a picture of it:

New Bench at Waughop Lake

We were happy to see that the bench that was smashed by a falling tree back in November has been replaced!
