It is hard to believe that the month of May has really arrived. Where is the year going? Wasn't it just yesterday that we were buried underneath snow and the year had just begun? Now the Graduates of 2015 have had their big celebration and we at the Stettler Public Library wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Well I must accept the fact that June is just a few days away and tell you about the last two events we have for the month and let you know about June's schedule.
