Our Monthly Newsletter

JANUARY 2024

As we step into 2024, I'm excited to share our first newsletter of the new year! This month, we are celebrating the shiny new things that lie ahead. Here at the library, we're eagerly embracing the new year with fresh perspectives, invigorating ideas, and some long-anticipated additions that have been coming together behind the scenes.

Among these exciting developments are user-friendly updates to our website to help our patrons take advantage of all the resources our library offers. We'll be adding "How-To" pages that explain how to use our online Catalog step-by-step and why it's a great tool for our patrons. We're also thrilled to unveil our upcoming lineup of new library programs designed to enrich our patrons in the new year with engaging experiences and learning opportunities. Are you looking for a new reading challenge this year? Try our SPL reading challenge to give you new read suggestions for the year.

Finally, we're actively seeking new board members to help us fulfill our mission. If you or someone you know are ready to embark on new and exciting adventures that enrich our community, this is a great opportunity. Several members of our current board are retiring so we're on the lookout for passionate individuals interested in joining our Board of Trustees.



If you're drawn to the appeal of new possibilities, consider contributing your insights and energy to our library's growth. Your participation can shape the future of our beloved community institution.

Here's to embracing the sparkle of the new year and the promise it holds. Let's journey into 2024 together with enthusiasm and a shared commitment to our library's vibrant future.

Warm regards,

We're thrilled to announce the debut of this engaging event where families can come together for the joy of storytelling. But that's not all—joining us for our first session is Bailey, a golden retriever and an official member of Therapy Dogs International, Inc.

Known for their gentle nature and innate friendliness, golden retrievers like Bailey have a special knack for creating comfort and ease. As part of Therapy Dogs International, Bailey and his handler are dedicated volunteers committed to providing support and comfort in various settings.

In our reading sessions with children, Bailey will work his magic by fostering a relaxed environment filled with unconditional love and attention. This gentle presence encourages young readers, offering the reassurance they need to read aloud confidently.
