Literacy Month is in full swing at the Agassiz Library.

The Agassiz Library is hosting a contest from kids from ages 3 to 18 to make a PPE mask for unofficial mascot Crackle the Crow. The contest is divided into four age groups: 3-5, 6-9, 10-12 and 13-18. Winners will have their designs made into a mask for Crackle and will receive a $10 gift card. The contest ends September 19 at 5 p.m.

As for the adult library patrons, the library offers a fun display featuring the first lines of famous books to see if they can guess what book the line is from.

Since June, the library has offered FVRL Express, allowing patrons to place books, movies and other items on hold for pick-up as well as Grab and Go bags, pre-selected books from a variety of genres ready to check out when you arrive.

The Agassiz Library has a very active Facebook page, including Storytime videos for children, craft ideas and much more. This page can be found at www.facebook.com/FVRLAgassizLib.
