Families are encouraged to visit the library at 955 Northgate Drive for all the fun.
There will be an assortment of activities with construction and STEAM toys, coloring sheets, and some crafts to take home.
The event is supported by the Friends of the Richland Library. If your child is preschool age, he or she must be accompanied by an adult.
I absolutely loved going to the library as a child. It's one of my fondest memories of grade school. My very first librarian ever was Mrs. Clemens at South Grove Elementary School, in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. A couple years later, I had a classmate, Brenda Clemens. Mrs. Clemens was Brenda's grandmother! I was so jealous! Brenda had all the cool school items, from crayons, to colored pencils, stickers, and a trapper keeper. Remember those?
Once a week visits to my school's library wasn't enough. So, I decided to get a library card and on Tuesday's my mom and I would visit the Dakota County Bookmobile. It would park at Saint Patrick's Catholic Church on 72nd Street from 6 pm till 8 pm.
I checked out as many books as I could and my dad and I would read every night before bedtime.
I have such great memories of the library and still visit at every opportunity.
Keep reading for more awesome memories, I'm sure one will tickle your fancy.
