April is Car Care Month!
Did you know that our library provides access to a wealth of information to help you diagnose, repair and maintain your car or truck? Get into gear with a reliable do-it-yourself auto repair resource! If you’re looking to perform a repair or service to your vehicle, Auto Repair Source has all the information you need. All content comes from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), and you can use it to help you diagnose, repair and maintain your car, truck or SUV. You can also take this valuable resource on the road — it’s designed for devices such as laptops and tablets! |

 April 19-25 is National Library Week! This year's theme is "Find Your Joy" and features Honorary Chair Mychal Threets, new host of children's program "Reading Rainbow!" National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions, and promote library use and support.
We are super excited and are celebrating all month long with a CMRLS Library Crawl, a fun month-long event where participants visit different libraries and collect stamps in a passport while exploring programs, resources, and communities!
Stamps = entries for some exciting prizes!! Check your library's calendar for a list of fun events! |
