June 8th is National Best Friend Day! Today is a time to enjoy and appreciate your best friend. It's a day to honor and cherish the relationship you share.

If you're lucky, you have a best friend (or two, or three).  You spend countless hours with your best friend going to events and activities, or just hanging out. You share secrets, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and disappointments with your best friend.
Let's take the time to cherish the relationship you have with your best friend(s).

You can do this by

• Spending time with your best friend
• Making efforts to find a best friend(if you don't currently have one)
• Giving a small gift or card to your best friend
• Calling an old best friend that you've lost touch with

Lets take the time to thank our best friend for always being there for us!

After a nice relaxing evening at the Library, let's get back on Track! The new Athletic track was opened last Fall and is waiting to be used! Go for a walk, jog or run tonight.
