Current Langford Librarian Nicole Hoines reads a story to Hannah Alberts and other kids during a recent Mother Goose Story Time. The story time has been going on at the Langford Public Library for decades.

Though the weather pushed back a night’s performance the show did indeed go on at Langford Area last week. The students put on three performances of “West Side Story.” Dozens of students acted and helped with technical work behind the scenes. The play was directed by Diane Hoines, Kelly Wieser, JaKelle Hardy, Holly Glodrey and Suzi Larson.
West Side Story’s main characters Maria and Tony, like Romeo and Juliet, whom they were inspired by, spent plenty of time on the balcony. They were played by Laney Widener and Braven Hanse.
Small Library, Big Impact
This week is National Library Week. The theme for the event this year is “There is More to the Story.” One Marshall County library that has a rich story behind it is the Langford Public Library. Though small, the library is impressively active and has a strong history of dedicated people helping this local institution flourish.
