CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Things are moving along at our new Library building! We expect construction to be completed in mid-November. After that, our staff will be busy installing new technology, shelving our collections and getting everything ready to welcome you into the building in January, 2025.

Meanwhile, please visit us at our interim Adult Services location at 129 Boyden Ave or the Hilton Branch for children and teens.

We look forward to seeing you!
