Des Peres Branch will be 15 years old this fall. Gail McCarthy, branch librarian, says there will be an Open House to celebrate on October 13. Everyone in the neighborhood is invited.
Over 100 children signed up for the Summer Reading Club and contracted to read fifteen books each. Jeff Peters was the first to finish. A party was held on August 21 to honor all those industrious young readers.
Gail, who also serves as children’s librarian at our branch, plans to begin Preschool Story Hour in October. She needs the first month of school to organize the schedule of classrooms visiting the library.
