Greetings!
Greetings from your friends at the Ella Johnson Library!
As the days get longer, and the snow melts away, we’re looking forward to spring festivities like St. Patrick’s Day. But even though spring officially begins on Tuesday, March 20th, we all know Old Man Winter may have one or two more surprises for us.
Not to worry though! You'll find your own pot of gold here at the Ella Johnson Memorial Public Library with a treasure trove of resources, materials, and programs. Ride out the rest of winter with a good
eBook
,
eMagazine
, or even a
T.V. series
. Did you know you can check out all three, using your library card, from the comfort of your own home?
Drop us a line
if you need assistance loading digital materials onto your device. We’re here to help you get the information you want, and need.
We feel as lucky as a leprechaun that we are able serve you!
Thank you for being a part of the library community!
