August Programs
2014

Dear Patron,
   The Dog Days of August are upon us, and where the heck did July go anyway?! Our short summer season passes quickly, so take some time to savor the heat we all love to complain about. Then come cool off at your library and pick up some great summer reading, listening and viewing. We love to connect you with the books, audios, music and films you enjoy. Bring on the questions!
