The Library will be closed Friday, November 3 for Staff Training, closed Saturday, November 11 for Veteran's Day, and closed Thursday, November 23 and Friday, November 24 for Thanksgiving.

Let the holidays begin!

It's November and the snow is here! Take a break from cold weather activities and join us for crafting, trivia, book clubs, and mysteries at the library this month.

November marks the start of the holiday season, a time to reflect on the good fortune of having family and friends. Remember, not everyone experiences this time of year the same way. Let's be extra kind, extend compassion and empathy to those around us, and make this holiday season brighter for all.
