Wanted: More Readers! Our children's book clubs are getting underway for the 2025-2026 season and we have open spaces in all 3 clubs.

We talk about favorite / least favorite characters, compare our funniest / strangest / saddest scenes, have a snack, hang out together and more! Cliffhanger generally meets one Monday per month from 5:30-6:30 PM. Want to know more about Cliffhanger or any of our book clubs for kids? Please ask! We're happy to help. |

Don't be afraid to say "hi!". Let us know how your day went, ask questions if you have them, tell us the outcome of your latest test/meet/game/activity. We are here to do our jobs and this is part of it. Your librarians are here for you and we're glad you're here. |
