Dear Patron,
July is the month for parades and picnics, hiking and biking, swimming, gardening and picking berries. Summer Reading is in full swing along with Summer Story Times and Special Guest Programs on Wednesdays. The Library is throwing a summer celebration on the Library Lawn Wednesday, July 16 with a cookout and concert. The Annual Used Book Sale is on Saturday, July 26th. But between the outings and the cookouts we hope you'll find a shady nook for putting up your feet and reading each day, too. Come visit us soon!
