L-Bow the Clown tours libraries

L-Bow the Clown made a whirlwind tour of the Palouse July 22 to visit libraries in Palouse, St. John, Rosalia (above) and Tekoa. Based in Leavenworth, L-Bow learned the clown business in the Wenatchee Children’s Circus. Entertainment like this is made available through donations to the Friends of the Library.
