Holiday Ornament-Making Party - Dec. 6 - Noon

Also for the holidays the library is hosting a holiday ornament-making party on Dec 6th at 12:00. We'll bring the supplies, treats and how-tos and you bring kids of all ages who'd like a seasonal creative outlet. Finished creations can be taken home or included in the library decorations. The party starts at noon and will last until the supplies run out!

Closed for Construction - Dec 8 - Dec 17th

The library will be re-doing the floors and carpets starting December 8th and will also be installing additional shelving and seating areas to accommodate the increasing collection and usage at the library. During this time the library building will be closed from Dec 8th. though Dec 17th. You can access many of the library's journals and newspapers online via our online Proquest and InfoTrac databases available on the library's "Find It Fast" web navigator under "Articles." Although we have chosen the lowest VOC emissions for the products, be aware that those with sensitivities may still be affected for a week or so after the installation. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will be answering emails and the phone during this time but the collection will not be accessible for most of that time.
