News & Events

September is here, and we’re excited to welcome a new season of reading, programs, and activities at the library!

This month, we’re celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month by sharing some of the many reasons a library card is such a valuable resource from books and digital resources to programs, passes, and more. We also have a Sourdough Class for adults coming up, so be sure to read on and register if you'd like to attend. Out & About Storytime is back, bringing stories, songs, and fun to locations around our community. Plus so much more!

There’s something for everyone at the library this September!

Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Library play an important role in supporting our library, and now more than ever, we need community members who are willing to get involved. From helping with special projects to advocating for the library, the Friends make a big impact, and it doesn’t require a huge time commitment.

If you love your library, please consider joining the Friends, attending a meeting, or serving on the board. Your time, ideas, and voice can make a real difference in the future of our library. We’d love to have you be part of the team!
