RITZVILLE – Carnegie Library sponsored "Take Your Child to the Library Day" on Friday, Feb. 2.
Staff members met children at various stations throughout the building.
Alice in Wonderland, portrayed by Heather Carruth, passed out snacks and Kaiden Bell helped at the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" alcove.
As previously reported in The Journal, in the aftermath of COVID-19 shutdown mandates and recent staff turnover, the library has faced its share of challenges.
"Recovering from that season took time," Interim Director Millie Hopkins said. "We're trying to get back on our feet."
By sponsoring this child-centered event - one of many activities scheduled for the months ahead - staff hopes to encourage greater community involvement with their local library, she said.
