For the safety of our staff and community in this current pandemic environment, the library will not be holding any in person events or programs through January. Some programs will be canceled. We are urging everyone to check the status of any library program at gailborden.info/events.

The Main Library Early Learning Center play area is closed. The Kidspace book areas remain open so customers can select their own materials including books, CDs, toys, puzzles, Tiny Tech items, Early Learning kits and Resiliency Kits. Kidspace continues to have To-Go Craft Kits.

Please note that the celebrating Mike Alft event scheduled for January 15 will be rescheduled to a later date as will the Pirate Island exhibit.

Please let the Library assist you in your reading and watching enjoyment in this new year. Click here for many new titles. From the new titles page, you can click on Bestsellers, Awards, Adults' Booklists and Kid's Booklists.

Many "just ins" get checked out quickly, but it it simple to place an item on hold by clicking on a button.

To register or view more virtual programming visit our calendar. Many of the videos listed above can be watched anytime here.
