A big bobcat thank you to NW Arts Program Lead Nicki Schulman! Thank you for all you do for the Twain Community. And a special thank you to Malaika Siliker for all of her support to help make this program a success.

One of the favorite events of the year is next week! The Scholastic Book Fair will take place during the January conference week, from January 28 - 31.

To shop at the Fair, drop by the Twain library in the morning or afternoon on those dates. There is something for everyone: picture books, early- and older-chapter books, nonfiction options, books in Spanish, graphic novels (and maybe a fun pencil or two).
