Using the estimated City population of 3,597, library services in 2008 will cost $56.23 in tax funds per person. This is equivalent to two hard cover books and a DVD.
Have you checked out more than two books and a DVD this year?

Celebrating Mental & Whole Body Health MonthÂ
Tonganoxie Public Library with Minds and K9’s, Inc. present:
“What a Difference a Friend Makes!”
Autism :: Learning Disorders :: Depresssion :: Bullying
These are not behaviors or conditions people just “grow out of.”  They can and do affect all ages, even adults. Join Minds and K9’s as we use photos, music and fun to learn about the stigma associated with childhood, and how those in turn affect us all.
