UPDATE: Our WIFI is back and our new puzzle is still very cute!
Our wifi is down (hopefully just a short time), but a new puzzle is ready in the Swab Reading Room! "Green Acres" And look at the finished "Cozy Bookshop" that patrons put together last month.

This week is National Public Health Week! We are grateful for the support and information that we get from The Appanoose County Public Health office here in Centerville. They helped us get a grant for our two blood pressure monitors on the main floor and they even checked the batteries for us recently!
