We had amazing volunteers this month!
Students helped clean the interior of the library as part of UND's Big Event on April 30, 2022. It was so helpful and a huge success!
Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals came out on May 21, 2022 to help clean up the outside of the library! We all worked hard and now the library is ready for some summer fun!
Thank you to these two wonderful groups that volunteered their time and effort to help us with our spring cleaning.

The library had many activities and guests this month, Jill Levene spent every Tuesday in our studio working on her Letterboxing project. With her final event on May 24th, she helped everyone make their own stamps for their letterboxing kits. Want to give it a try yourself? See if you can find the letterbox planted at the library! This month during Tinkertown, kids learned about surface tension, density, and why paint floats and created beautiful marbled paper. For Campbell Creates, we explored book binding. We are looking forward to what next month will bring!
