Tour Guide Text

 

Hi! I’m a butterfly named Melissa Blue, and I live in open areas all around Idaho. I’m here to show you around our beautiful new library.

One of the cool things about this library is all of the ways that it’s nice to our planet. And that’s good because we want children to enjoy our world for years and years to come.

So, please follow me and I’ll show you around.  Just click on the links below or the one at the bottom of the page!
