Halloween Fun at the Public Library!


🚍 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 🚸
As we recognize this important week, we join our partners at the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department in reminding everyone to stay alert and follow school bus safety laws:
🔴 Red Lights Mean STOP – All traffic in both directions must stop when a bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing.
🟡 Yellow Lights Mean SLOW DOWN – The bus is preparing to stop, so please be cautious and ready.
Every stop matters. Failing to stop for a school bus isn’t just against the law—it endangers our students. Let’s work together to keep every child in Lafayette County safe on their way to and from school. 💛❤️
