“The more that you READ the more things you
will KNOW. The more that you LEARN the
more places you’ll GO!”
—Dr. Seuss
A Big Thank You to Mark Anderson again
for a fantastic gardening presentation at the
library last March. He is always a hit here in
Richmond and we certainly appreciate the
expertise he shares with us.
April Library Lecture: Nine years ago, a
USU professor asked Stacy Blauer if the school
she was teaching at would like to be a "sister
school" to a school in Uganda. Stacy has been
involved with the wonderful people in Uganda
ever since, and has traveled there twice to do
humanitarian work for about a month each time.
Stacy will share pictures and her experiences in
a Uganda presentation, April 23rd at 7:00 PM
in the Library Basement. Refreshments will be
served.
