From Ofilia: While I was at the Library Administrators Conference in Mineral Wells last week I met a woman
who happened to work as a teacher in Mineral Wells, but grew up here in Wylie. She sought me out because
she wanted to meet me to say how much the library meant to her and how what we do is so important.
Libby shared the following with Ofilia: “One
of our storytime kiddos gave us this
handmade Monster thank you card! Their
nanny says that they call storytime ‘The
Show’ and they go to both the Wednesday
and Thursday Big Kid Storytimes”
