Throwback Thursday
Are you ready for spring? We sure are. Here's a photo of a snow plow from the Johnson County Archives. There's something cathartic about seeing this truck plowing away the snow. Perhaps it can push warmer temperatures our way!

It's Spring!
Even though it's not quite as spring-y outside as we'd like, we can still enjoy reading about Springtime with our little ones. See our picks for picture books about Spring!
Music Monday!
Pablo Sanhueza is many things: bandleader, Latin jazz percussionist, musical scholar, master and student. The Chilean-born musician is perhaps best known for leading the KC Salsa & Latin Jazz All Stars ensemble, but his musical imprint does not stop there. He is a songwriter who has toured widely, sharing the stage with the likes of Poncho Sanchez, Titos Sompa, Dave Valentin and Bobby Watson. We are honored to share an interview with Sanhueza. Enjoy!
