LIBRARY CORNER
Springtime at ImagineIF
By IMAGINEIF LIBRARIES
This April and May, join Imagi- neIF Libraries to celebrate spring with fresh activities to get you excit- ed about all the air up there. Hop in- side a real hot air balloon basket, put your own spin on a pinwheel garden outside the library, send a personal- ized postcard to a friend, or make a paper plane and test its flying skills.
Hot Air Get up close with a real hot air balloon basket. Hop in and imagine what it’s like to float away. Heads up!
