The population in Hawkins, WI:  302, give or take a few.
The number of kids involved in the summer library program:  51

Wow!

Keeping children reading over the summer and having fun while doing it, is always the main focus. Having the library filled with giggling children, smiling parents and eager faces waiting to check out books is this Librarian’s favorite part. I am so grateful to the wonderful volunteers that give of their time to help and to the parents, grandparents and caregivers that bring their children to the library each week.  ” says Arlene Mabie, library director (and everything else). 


So, maybe it is Arlene’s wonderful, generous, and grateful attitude.  Or maybe it is just because they know how to have fun:

Catch a falling star!  Parachute fun

Some things never go out of style:  egg and spoon races
