Storybook Characters Meet and Greet with Local Children
Kids got to meet the library's "representatives" before parade day.
Storybook characters Froggy, Lilly and Ladybug took some time on Friday afternoon to dance around the community room with local kids, and of course, pose for photos.
Library staff also entertained the children, doing crafts and playing games while the parents snapped away on their cameras.
Interim Children's Department Head Gail Silsbe spoke about the area's St. Patrick's Day Parade and how the cute characters would march yet again.

"We have been doing the parade characters for quite a while. The costumes are from the publishing company. They are the actual characters from the books," she said.
Three-year-old Leah Richtard loved the seeing the storybook characters. Her favorite was Ladybug "cause my sister was a ladybug for Halloween," she said.
