by Library Director 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

We are getting ready to create a dedicated children's room in our library. The room is in need of painting and I'm curious to hear what color you have in your room, if you have one, and do you like it. Also, if there is anything special that is always used. I thank you in advance for your responses. Have a great day, Diane Greiner, Director Croton Township Library 8260 S. Croton-Hardy Drive Newaygo, MI 49337 231-652-1615
