The Library will be closed on Wednesday, November 11 in Observance of Veteran's Day!

Due to November Holidays, the Fiber Arts Friends will be adjusting their November Schedule to the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 5:45 to 7:45. Come on in and finish those Holiday Gifts!

If you could, please give us 5 to 10 minutes of your time to take our Strategic Planning Survey. We need a fresh community perspective on what you want this Library to be. What are our marching orders going to be moving forward? This is your opportunity to steer the ship, folks.  If you don't like electronic surveys, we have large-format print surveys available at the circulation desk. Thank you in advance for your time!!
