Youngsters enjoyed following a trail left by mischievous leprechauns at the Escalon library on Thursday, eventually finding a ‘pot of gold’ outside the Second Street facility. It was all part of the fun marking St. Patrick’s Day during the preschool storytime on Thursday, March 16. After hearing some stories focused on the holiday, children followed a trail left by the leprechauns, picking up some treasures along the way, including stickers, green hats, necklaces and finally the ‘gold’ pieces, glittering in the late morning sunshine on Thursday.
