The Library is undergoing a major renovation in 2025! We have temporarily relocated our services into the McConnell Center (Room 305 for Children's, the Cafeteria for Adult & Teen Services) for up to one year while the work takes place on adding a small addition to the side entrance and revamping the inside.

Please visit the Renovation Update page on our website and our social media pages for updates and more information on changes to services.
