Remember when the Logan Library was the new kid on the block?

Well, it’s officially survived its first year in that shiny new building—and oh boy, the stories it could tell.

Another Hat in the Ring: Cache County’s Political Party Just Got Louder

Well folks, the race for Cache County Executive is starting to feel like the waiting line at Angie’s on a Saturday morning—everyone’s there, and you’re not sure who’s actually next.

Fall Family Hack: The Leaf Bag Swap

Tired of your kids groaning every time you say “yard work”?

Turn leaf-raking into a game.

Hand each kid a different color trash bag (black, orange, white) and tell them it’s a competition to see who can fill theirs the fastest.

Winner gets first dibs on the caramel apples.

Pro tip: tell them bonus points if they find a leaf shaped like a heart or a perfect “Aggie A.”

Suddenly, raking turns into a treasure hunt and—poof—you just tricked them into helping with chores.

Parenting level: Cache Valley ninja.
