Introducing Our New Brand!

Earlier this week, we officially unveiled our new logo and refreshed branding. The launch coincides with National Library Week, a nationwide celebration of libraries and all they offer to their communities.

Inspired by 3D paper art, our new logo reflects the warm, welcoming energy of the Library as well as our long-standing commitment to curiosity and creativity.

To celebrate our new look and National Library Week, we've got a few exciting activities in store including:

💜Trade in your library card for one with our new logo

💚Grab a bookmark from Adult & Teen Services

🧡Pick up crayons and coloring sheets from Children's Services

💜 Guess how many M&Ms are in the jar at the Customer Service Desk

💚 Look for special giveaways at some of our programs
