The Northeast Nodaway Community Library opened in Parnell and Ravenwood for the summer with more books and expanded hours for patrons to come. On Mondays, both the Ravenwood and Parnell buildings will be open from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. These hours will be effective April 28th. Starting May 28th, the library will be open from 10 a.m. to 12 noon in Ravenwood and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Parnell. On Saturdays, starting on April 26th, the hours in both school buildings will be from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.
Mary Alice Staples of the library said that the hours would make it easier for people to remember which building was open. "Last year, people were confused about which building was open when," she said. She said that an increased number of volunteers helped, as there are now over 30 volunteers working for the library, as opposed to 23 last year. "And we haven’t even talked to the parents about volunteering," she said.
In Ravenwood, the 8th grade was having a story hour for children there. They worked during their art time to make story bags which have books and activity kits for children that parents could check out. For instance, one book called "The Green Eyed Monster" has costumes that kids can play with and make themselves look like monsters.
The library is funded through a service learning grant and offered many different offerings for both adults and preschoolers.
