Spring is here at last, and butterflies have come to visit Willow Glen Branch Library! The kids of Room 1B at St Christopher School have created these beautiful watercolor works of art and generously shared them with the Library. They have been fluttering above the picture books in the Family Space since mid-March, brightening the spirits of staff and Library customers alike during the last few weeks of rainy weather. Thanks to the wonderful young artists and to their teachers, Mrs. Lang and Mrs. Zeitler, for all their work. If your class is interested in displaying artwork in the Willow Glen Branch Library, come in and talk to one of the staff members.

From the ancient times to modern days, there are holidays, festivities, and celebrations during this season. People have important attachments to this beautiful time of the year. From religion festivals, to holiday celebrations, to gardening, spring has been an integral part of our human bond. What is your favorite part of spring?
