The news in Essex is that the duck “pond” by the ferry is getting bigger by the day. That must mean that Spring is here and it is warming up. We have a great view of the lake from the library.

We have a new rotating collection of children’s and young adult books to share with you. I have included a list below. We hope to see you soon.
