During October, the Stanley Public Library held a Creepy Candy Contest. Students were invited to look at the giant Halloween bowl and guess the number of items it contained. Jaxon Carpenter was the winner with a guess of 304, missing the exact number by only three. Congratulations to Jaxon and all who visited the library and entered the contest.

The contest was sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

The Wee Care classes visited the library on Tuesday, September 24. Students were given a tour of the library and had an opportunity to look at books, play with games and puzzles, and listen to stories. They were given library souvenirs and treats to take home. It was a fun learning time for all!

Students in grades K-12 were Reading Rock Stars during the month of August at the Stanley Public Library! The students checked out books, read them, filled out a rating sheet and returned them to the library for an entry into the prize drawing.

This year’s winners were Adeline Hunt, Kali Casey, Isabel Hurst, Rylee Arnold, Maelyn Snyder and Amelia Hunt.

Prizes can be picked up at the library. The event was sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
