Bird In Library May 3lst

Thursday morning, as I was going back to the work area of Library, I discovered a bird had somehow entered the Library! He had hit the large windows several times trying to find a way out. It reminded me of the Magpies in the Windex commercial. I tried to shoo him out after opening the back door, but he would not leave the window sill. I finally tried to pick him up and he actually let me hold him! Therefore, I was able to let him loose outside. You never know what will happen at the Library. -N. I.

We are at 226 Countryside Drive, just off of Highway 377. Visitors will want to turn off of 377 at Sonic Drive In or First Security Bank.
