The Sparta Public Library celebrated National Library Week – April 10th – 13th. The week opened with 24 patrons within the first hour.  Monday was sub sandwich day, where the library gave MiCasa subs, chips and drinks to the patrons.  Popcorn Tuesday started the next day.  As each patron was leaving the library they were offered a freshly popped bag of popcorn.  We had a total of 53 enjoying popcorn throughout the day.  Wednesday morning was another highlight offering coffee and homemade chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter and oatmeal raisin cookies.  The cookies were a hit and the library gave away eight dozen. Since the library was closed Good Friday and Saturday, the close of National Library Week was Thursday and it ended with that delicious kettle popped popcorn.  Each patron was allowed to put their name in the drawing each day for a tan and black personalized canvas library bag to be given to one valid library card holder.  The drawing was held on Easter Monday and Ashley Hickerson was the happy recipient of the canvas tote bag.
