At the Library

Cranbrook Public Library
An abandon safe deposit box full of faded photographs, old letters, priceless jewelry and no apparent owner or heir makes up the latest Danielle Steel novel—‘Property of a Noblewoman.’
In ‘Clean Sweep,’ Monica Kulling explains to younger readers how Frank Zamboni, tired of manually shaving down ice rink ice by hand, spent nine years trying to come up with the perfect solution.
Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Toddler Story Time is 10 and 11 a.m. Both will be all about bunnies!
