November's Little Tike Hike at Botna Bend Park will take place along Wildflower Glen trail throughout the month.
As you enjoy the sights and sounds along the trail, you will spot activities posted along your route that are designed to help learners ages 3 to 5 experience nature in a new way. While it is designed for young learners, any age can learn something new and have fun, too!

Signs will be posted to help you find your way.

Railroads are vulnerable: They follow a fixed path that is impossible to disguise, and their moving parts are always visible. And yet railroads have played an important role in every American conflict since 1860. During the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Gulf War, railroads transported soldiers and everything they needed, ranging from tanks to uniforms.
Patricia LaBounty, curator of the Union Pacific Collection at the Union Pacific Museum, draws from the photographic archives to survey the unique ways that railroaders supported American war efforts, including the transportation of soldiers across the country and the operation of railway operating battalions abroad. Join us on Thursday, November 21 at 6:00 p.m. at the Council Bluffs Public Library to learn about this fascinating topic!
When it comes to working on electronics, soldering is an essential skill. In this class, we’ll go over the basics of the soldering iron, types of solder, basic terminology, and safety. Then, we’ll put that knowledge to use by practicing wire joining on spare circuit boards.
