The Library Board needs the time, talents, and skills of LaGrange residents to ensure the Library’s success as a vital resource in the community. The work is rewarding and the impact is great!

For more information, please contact Anna Lillian Moser at amoser@laglib.org

Come take a virtual tour to parts of the library most patrons never get to see!

Visit our website to view a short video where you can join LaGrange Association Library President, Suzanne Davis, and Library Director, Anna Lillian Moser, as they show exactly what's planned for the library's Phase 3 Renovation Project!

Did you know that the LaGrange Library has a Community Food Pantry? We do! "Take what you need, give what you can" is the driving idea behind it, but this idea doesn't work without community donations.

High need food items, such as peanut butter, canned goods (especially fruits, vegetables, and proteins such as tuna and chicken), rice, healthy snacks, beans, etc., are always very helpful, but we will gratefully accept donations of any unopened, in-date, shelf-stable food items!

For more information on how you can help, contact lagrangelibrary@laglib.org
