Brandon Library Newsletter                     
October 2025


All CMRLS Libraries and the Administrative Office will be closed Monday, October 13 in observance of the federal holiday, Columbus Day. Regular library hours will resume Tuesday, October 14. Digital media and resources can be found 24/7 on our website. 

 
National Friends of the Library Week is October 19-25, 2025! 
 
Libraries are so thankful for Friends. Our Friends groups make equipment, books, holiday decorating, refreshments, programs, and more possible in all of the CMRLS Libraries.
 
If you are interested in working with a group to support your Library and better your community, a Friends to Your Library is what you want to be! Annual membership begins as low as $2 for students. 
 
Ask the staff at your library for information and become a Friend to your Library.
 
 
Are you looking for a safe place to celebrate Halloween or Harvest Time with your little ones? Be sure to check your library events at right and then take a look at the Events Calendar for even more holiday events near you.
