The library’s LOBBY is open for service. You may continue to call and we will bring your books out OR you may come to the table in the lobby and speak to a staff member in person The whole library is still not fully open so patrons are still unable to browse at this time. If you turned In a Winter Reading Log and were unable to pick out a prize book you can now do so. Thank you for your patience and understanding. See you soon

For our teachers out there, not only informational but excellent mentor text.

Missing our annual bell concert! Especially after discovering the great acoustics at the American Legion last year!
