Trivia Night is a Huge Success!
The Aubrey Area Library hosted the annual Trivia Night last Saturday, March 13. Eight teams turned out to vie for the 1st place title. Library Director, Kathy Gilson acted as emcee for the night. Library Board Member Phillip Moore and volunteer Mathew Brooks took turns reading the questions to the teams. Keeping up the grading and scoring for the teams were Library Board Members Deborah Goin, Larry Fisher and volunteer Kae Fisher. By the end of the night, Point Blank came up with the most answers and won first place. There was a tie for second place between Dog-gone and Brain Drain. After the tie-breaking round, Brain Drain won second place and Dog-gone was in third. All three placing teams generously donated their prize money back to the Library. It was a great fund-raising night of food, fun and heavy thinking. Thanks to everyone who participated in this event.

Montessori Planetary Creations

The children from Montessori Preschool have been busy creating their own versions of the solar system. The creations are on display in the children's area of the Library.  On you next visit to the Library, be sure and take a look at all of the colorful designs.








Teddy Bear Picnic
Story Time February 24, 2010

Mrs. Herbst held the children's attention during her Teddy Bear Stories.

Even the Library's Giant Teddy Bear seemed to be listening closely!

Everyone brought their Teddy Bears from home to join in the fun!

The kids were inching closer and closer to Mrs. Herbst to hear all of the Teddy Bear Stories.

The Teddy Bear March! After listening to stories, the children and their Teddy Bears marched around the room.
