For a special celebration on Tuesday morning for National Library Week 2016, students in preschool through sixth grade enjoyed an entertaining presentation by Mr. Eric Litwin. Especially fun was the “Get Groovy” dance. And, yes, he had us all dancing . . . even the adults!
“Eric Litwin (Mr. Eric) is a guitar strumming, book writing, harmonica blowing, song singing, folksy, fun type of guy.

Elementary school librarian, Mrs. Lisa Salyers, partnered with the public library to get him to come to our area. We also thank Katie Gatton from the Richland County Main Public Library for being so very kind to let us borrow the Pete the Cat costume they rented.
And our friends from Richland Source were there. Read their story HERE.
