Coptober Success!

Thank you to everyone who attended the 4th Annual Coptober event at the library this year. What a great day filled with more than 250 attendees who enjoyed fun, learning and community connection! It sure was tough decision to choose a new name for our spooky coworker out of all the great entries. We would like to introduce - Officer Shaky Bones! Special thanks to the Southern Minnesota Initiative Fund and United Way for their book donations and the Owatonna Library for their outstanding collaboration. We loved partnering to share what it takes to be a police officer and how we can all work together to keep kids safe. See you next year!
