Something is hatching at the library! Our Youth Services staff is going to be incubating and hatching chicks, with an expected hatch date in May. Join us on this journey, help us name a chick, and when the time comes enjoy sitting back and holding a chick.

Once things actually start hatching, you can watch all of the action on our YouTube channel: @WestLinnPublicLibrary
