Bureau Valley School Librarian, Mary Heing, is excited for the new flexible seating opportunities amongst other new resources and tools that will be readily available for the young adults while visiting the library. Walnut Public Library will utilize round two funds and will continue to expand the resources available to the public utilizing remaining funds from being a round one recipient.
