Summer Reading

“Oceans of Possibilities” is the theme of our Summer Reading Program which is for Children, Teens, and Adults. We will have programs throughout the summer and there will be fun prizes. And all you have to do is READ!

Sign up online or in person at the library beginning on our Kick Off day, Saturday, June 11th from 9am-4pm.
New Book Drop

The library has a new book drop!

This new book drop has two slots. One slot is for books and the other slot is for media (dvds and audiobooks). So you can now return dvds and audiobooks into the media slot at any time.

But make sure all items are returned to the correct slot.
Summer Hours

Our Saturday summer hours are 9 am—2 pm. Find a way to enjoy the weather!

We will resume longer hours (9 am-4 pm) on Saturday, August 27th.
