The Spring Term Festival Returns!

The cold of winter has finally melted away and the advent of spring invites a new beginning!

As for a fresh start, we are thrilled to announce that the always-popular Spring Term Festival will take place on the last day of Spring Term classes, Friday, May 20th, from 12 noon to 2 pm in the Harte Center (1st floor of Leyburn Library).
