Our family wanted to give a big thank you to the Iola Public Library, its staff, and volunteers who did the “Great Race Iola Style” on Aug. 10. Our whole family competed as a team along with 16 other teams, and we had the best time!
It was so obvious how much time and work were put into making this such a fun and great event. The event was free, prizes were given, and lunch was served to all who participated.
All of our family had a great time and will long remember the fun we had running around Iola and completing different tasks. We hope they do it again because we will be the first to sign up!
Our library is such a great asset to our community. We need to be sure and use it and appreciate it. They offer so much besides just books — which are wonderful. They always have different classes available that are either free or for a very small fee. Story hours for kids of all ages are not to be missed. We love our library and wanted to give it a huge round of applause for the Great Race and hard work. Thank you Iola Public Library! We appreciate you and all you do for and bring to our community!
Ben and Jen Taylor family,
Iola, Kan.
