Good-bye Summer: A Poem

You read all Summer

We hope you had fun!

Don't close those books

It's just begun

Did you have a good vacation?

Did you play in the pool?

Well, you better towel off because

It's time for back to school!

We hope you don't desert us

There's programs all through the year

Your local library will miss you

So come say hello...we'll be here :)
