Let the Youth Speak...and their voices were heard!

Over the past few months, adults have been exercising their right to think and tomorrow they will have the chance to vote.

Over the past few WEEKS, Fall Creek youth have been able to make THEIR voices heard. We sent ballots home through school for all ages to vote on favorite Public Library programs, movies & books from 2012, kinds of pizza, things we should purchase for them to have access to in the Library, and more! 

We had a great turn-out! Thank you to the Fall Creek School staff, parents, and ESPECIALLY the youth who voted! 

And now...
