BOOK BAGS

A librarian will be most happy to put together an assortment of items to be taken away in a personalized BOOK BAG. Should a family/child be limited with time, just send an email to walkerspointlibrary@gmail.com. Please include the child’s name, age and interests to guide the librarian with item selection. Also reference the manner of pick up. The BOOK BAG would then be prepared.
