The mural in the children's wing of the Douglas County Public Library is now complete. Judy Heier did a great job using a jungle theme. Be sure to take a look on your next library visit. We have been busy planning our summer schedule of events, and Janet Ariciu will kick off our special events with a genealogy workshop sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution entitled, "Now What Do I Do?"
