And just like that, the school year is upon us! We had the most incredible Summer Reading Program, with more than 800 of you attending our events throughout the summer! Thank you for making this our best summer yet!
 
While we may be in the final quarter of the year (how???) it's still not too late to pick up your 2026 Library Passport! Both you and your child can get credit for checking out books, attending programs and completing special activities. Get enough stamps and you can take home a special prize! Look out for FREE STAMP DAYS as we approach the end of the year to fill in any spots you might have missed!
 
Please remember, as always, registration is required for ALL programs! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! 
 
Thank you all for being a part of our library's community!
