A bit of happy news. The library has now issued over 800 new library cards since our opening on July 23 last year, and we are so pleased to welcome an average of over 100 visitors to our new facility every day. That is amazing, right?!?!
Need a Notary? Bring your unsigned document(s) and current ID, and we will take care of you. Of course, and as always, donations for this service will be most welcome!
A quick note to the over 80 members of our Nourishing Literacy Giving Circle, a couple of receptions are in the planning stages; expect invitations in the very near future. In the meantime, THANK YOU for your continuing support of the library! It's easy to join the Giving Circle - for information on how, be one of the over 100 visitors who drop by the library!
