If you are looking for something to do on Monday, June 13, from 5:00-7:00 P.M., the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be in the parking lot in front of the school for this year's summer party. There will be snacks, crafts, games, and books - what more could a person want? No library card? That is not a problem because there will be free books! We would also like to thank the library for bringing the bookmobile to Van Buren throughout the 2021-2022 school year to make books available to students in grades 6-12 during lunch periods every other Monday. Whether you're able to make it to the summer party on Monday or make a trip to the library or bookmobile throughout this summer, keep reading!
