Jordaan Library is currently displaying a Batman collection belonging to David Hutchins, age 11, in the library display cases. Hutchins  began the collection when he was 5 years old, and has continued adding to it over time. This display is just a portion of what he has collected. Please show your support of Larned’s youth by taking a few minutes to stop by and see his interesting and delightful collection.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined author Ree Drummond’s experiences in the country. In addition to recipes and step-by-step pictures depicting the preparation of each dish, you’ll enjoy colorful images of rural life: cows, horses, country kids, and cowboys.
Also new to the shelves is Drummond’s romantic fiction novel. A universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet best describes “The Pioneer Woman’s Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, A Love Story.”
