Wanda Reese, a library patron who comes to Bull Run with her children, donated the many ribbons and rainbow colored balloons that arched the entry way and reading areas because she wants children to associate libraries as a fun place. She thought that this would be a good way for her to give back to the community. Two library staff members, Debbie Bruce and Diane Entremont assisted with the decorating prior to the festivities.
