Return of In-Person Events in 2022

We are planning for the return of some in-person events in 2022. Registration for these programs will open in December. All events will include COVID-19 Safety Measures. As the COVID-19 situation changes, these programs may be cancelled. Watch our events calendar for details.

Friends of the Library

2021 has been another challenging year for all of us and although the Friends have not been able to host all of our many events, we so gratefully appreciate everyone for continuing to support our Book Cart.

In December we will be featuring Children’s books. Most will be specially priced and are great for gift giving.

In keeping with our tradition we will be putting up and decorating our tree, along with a few poinsettias to help add a warm holiday welcome at our Library. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
