The Red Ribbon Book Character Parade will be next Friday. Celebrate literacy and being drug free by choosing a favorite book character and dressing up just like them! No need to buy a costume. Costumes should be simple, fun, and related to a book. You can use what you have at home and be creative. Bring a book with your character to carry while you wear your costume. No scary costumes or fake weapons. The parade will take place by grade level in the library during the school day. A schedule will be shared in the Rooms app next week. Call 447-7012 for more details.
