Your Neenah Library Story:
I was privileged this week to witness a milestone.  On Tuesday, I attended NPL’s weekly story time that brings young children together with young-at-heart residents at the VNA to read stories, sing songs, and generally have fun together.  During one of the activities, amidst all the movement and the clamor of children being children, one of the smallest participants, Lily, stood, a bit unsteady, and took several steps.  It was clear from the response of Lily’s mom that these were special, first steps and this elicited cheers and an ovation from the group…and a grin from Lily.  In that moment, we felt a sense of pride as if we were all Lily’s parents/grandparents/great-grandparents.  It was truly magical.  

So, thank you to the library (and particularly Miss Hannah) for your wonderful programming that encourages participation at all age levels.  Thanks to the VNA team for being so welcoming to the children and their parents/caregivers.  And thank you to the parents for sharing your children with this community.  This is a win for all who are involved.
