Geochron ClockThe North Branch is home to the Geochron clock, which indicates where the sun is shining at any given moment. The left edge of the clock's pattern marks the moment of sunrise, while the right marks sunset. This sunrise and sunset pattern changes continually, as the seasons progress throughout the year. The clock was a gift from the Friends of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library.

Humpty Pumpkin

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All of Obama’s horses
And all of Romney’s men
Managed to put
Humpty back together again

Working together, the bipartisan way
Teamwork for this egg rules the day
For pumpkins and president, ‘tis the time to vote
A happy ending for all is our great hope!
