The contest was held for children from 8 through 12 years old to guess the number of balls hanging in the office area in a mesh bag. The correct number was 16. There were three children who guessed the correct number; Susan Smith, Dave Hoover and Jamie Hoover. They will receive one of the foot- balls from the bag and a National Football League figurine. The clos- est to the correct answer will re- ceive the same prize. We will give the choice of the ball to the first winners as they come in. The next 13 winners are: Ther- esa Belles, Lee Stevans, Sarah Hadzor, Buddy Shah, Richard Dougal, Jamie Weidner, Beth Klimek, Kevin Shah, Matt Kertese, Rebecca Hadzor, Megan McGilvrey, Kenny Weidner and Thomas Dou- gal. All the other children who entered the contest will receive a football figure. These may be picked up at the library anytime the li- brary is open. We have a very unique wreath hanging outside the entrance to the library. One of our faithful patrons had a holly wreath hang- ing on her front door last Christ- mas and left it there until the spring. When she checked it over in the spring, she was surprised to find a bird's nest right into the wreath. Unfortunately, the bird decided the nest was in a rather unsafe area for hatching babies, so there were no eggs laid in the nest. The childrens’ story hours were very excited to hear the story and to see the special nest. New books at the library: “Mur- der At 75 Birch” a true story of family betrayal; by Richard T.
