The Ballard-Carlisle County Library has received 80 new children's books from Grayson County Library. Librarian Mary Silgals says they are about to order new books and would like public input on what kind of books you would like to see in the library. Just give them a call or find them on Facebook and leave a comment.

In last weeks paper I done an article on the spirit of community in Ballard County about the storefront murals that Lana Bisson painted in Wickliffe. I enjoyed doing that article because Lana Bisson and her husband Henry (Chip) were so excited about community that a little rubbed off on me.
