Alayna Miller looked through a telescope for the first time, ever, when she and her mom, Angela Briggs, visited the library to see the planet display.


Braydon Rohlfs tried out the telescope while he waited for friends to arrive at the Whistle Stop Library. He and his friends like playing games under the trees in the big backyard.

 


Ladonna Gass was thrilled to receive an original railroad lamp given to the library by John Schrader, the last person from the area to work at the building before the depot was closed in the 1960s.


Comfy beanbags make good nests for small children who come to the library to read books and visit with their classmates.

 

Adult readers like Nancy Nannen enjoy looking through the book selections to find something new or another story from their favorite author.


The Whistle Stop Library sign in the yard was built by Hartsburg-Emden Webelos Pack 121. An old luggage and cargo wagon sits in the yard (to the right of the building).
