Winter is a wonderful time to read, while you check out your books also “check out” the beautiful “learning tree” which is the new focal point of the library in Sand Creek.  The decal was donated by Adeen Johnson’s niece Kirsten Rain and family and was expertly installed by Sand Creek’s own LouAnn Gilberts and Kelly Timm owners of Carpe Diem in Chetek.  Kids, stop by the library and pick up your Valentine’s Day Snoopy bookmark available until Feb. 15.
