Plus, take a look at the display of books about friendship, study habits, and important character traits. Then just for fun, complete the vacation time by taking a look at the books about games, the joke books, the fun food ideas, and all the super hero tales.
The library is a special place to work on school projects, to share stories with family and friends, to discover new interests, and to connect with everyone in Maywood. Visit regularly.
