Four new creature cards are made available each month, so keep reading to fill out your set. Pick up your reading log and cards at the front desk of the library. And look for the announcement of new cards at the library and on social media at the beginning of each month. For more information, contact Youth Services Coordinator Amber Chaney at 937.783.3585.
