RAGBRAI In Independence!

If you've been around town lately, you might have noticed the extra wheels popping up on light poles and store fronts. RAGBRAI is coming, and the library is ready. Our Mini-Scientists have been biking around to find readers everywhere they go, and between the two of them have racked up almost a thousand miles. That's enough to do this years RAGBRAI race twice, and then some. Be sure to stop in at the IPL this Friday, when the Mini-Scientists come back home and the Summer Reading Program wraps up. Remember to log your reading until July 25th (and claim your prizes by August 2nd).

July 25th is going to be a big day so we'll have extended hours that day (open until 8 PM) so everyone can have a chance to drop by, and shortened computer times (20 Minutes) so everyone has a chance to get online. (See the library for full details) Hope to see you there!
