Welcome Back to School!

It may very well be summer time still, but school is back in swing at Orchard Lake Schools. You will be glad to know of the following new and/or upcoming items at the library:

- books on tape have been ordered, including some theological titles
- we have begun to purchase new items that support the Preparatory curriculum
- and we're working on a photo-documentary contest for students (details in the coming weeks)

In the meantime, if you love Fall, then keep an eye on the changing of the leaves forecast.
