This video is on our YouTube channel and available to everyone at no charge. Click HERE to view the video. Please let us know if you have any questions for John and he would be glad to answer them! Questions can be sent to John’s email address at the end of the video or to the library at [email protected]. For more information, please call the library at 715-385-2050.
