Coffee and Conversation

November 1st Carmel Branch hosted a coffee and conversation. Thank you to those that attented and shared ideas about libraries of the future.

Thank you-Miss Mary and the Aurora Fossil Museum

What a great fossil festival we had October 18th in the parking lot of the Carmel Branch Library. The weather was perfect for digging and searching for shark's teeth, shells and spines. Thanks to The Aurora Fossil Museum for supplying us with the material and for patron Miss Mary for sharing her love of fossil finding. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. If you would like more information about the museum check out their website at www.aurorafossilmuseum.com
