Happy Birthday to us!

This year, we celebrate 20 years in this lovely building, generously funded by Andrew and Anna Mae D'Elia.

To help us celebrate, donate $20 to our Adopt-a-book program and have your name inscribed on a book plate to go into a new book that we purchase with the funds.

Tickets for the May 6th Author Event are $20 and selling out quickly. We still have a few tickets available. Stop by the library for all the details or visit the Quiet Corner Reads website.

You'll want to join us this year for another amazing best-selling author.

Art Journaling for Teens & Adults

We meet on the 1st Friday AND the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 5-7 p.m. to add a new creative page to our journals. You will receive a journal on your first visit. Supplies and a topic will be provided. This month we meet on Friday, May 2 & Wednesday, May 21 from 5-7 p.m.
