Parkersburg Iowa - growing with pride!

If you walk into the library you may think that you stepped back in time! The library hasn't discovered a time machine, it just has some great prehistoric pictures of days long ago. On display above the bookcases and on the circulation desk are pictures of some awesome dinosaurs. The Kaleidoscope kids from Mrs. Andersen's preschool class at Parkersburg Elementary made some terrific mini murals that are full of color and originality! The preschoolers are the last class to be featured in the library for the 2007/2008 school year. Please stop in to see these great works of art that are on display until school is out for the summer.
