The group played and sang music with young library patrons, and all enjoyed the action songs and the big basket of musical rhythm instruments from around the world. 

Caroline Derkson has been living in WIlliams Lake and working at her new job at the library for just over a week. She said that she thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's music session in the library. "Music is a different form of literacy," she said, "and besides, making noise is always fun." 

Caroline recently completed her Master's Degree in Library and Information Science at the University of British Columbia.
