FALL in love with Your Library!

Are you enjoying the crisp, cool autumn air in our area? While letting go of summer can be hard, there is so much to enjoy this fall!

YOUR public library has been busy all summer getting ready for some exciting changes! If you haven't been inside the library recently, come check us out. Stroll through our newly refreshed stacks, spruced up and spread out to allow for easier browsing of your favorite books. We've got some great new displays to help you find even more titles to entice. Relax in our comfortable quiet reading area with our new swivel chairs, and peruse some upcoming programs at our big bulletin boards.

We're working on more fantastic additional upgrades still to come, like new computers, faster wifi and membership in the MAIN library consortium, all just a few months away.

Come discover, collaborate and connect with Your Library this fall. Visit our Calendar for our program schedule. Join us!
