Welcome Spring! March welcomes Spring programs to the Community Library Network. A time for planting, growth, and sunny days mixed with cloudy skies. It has been said that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, while other years the opposite is true. With how little snow we saw during winter this year, what is your prediction for March? Please make note, we take a break from regular weekly programs for children and teens, March 27-April 3. There will be special events and family programs during this time. A complete calendar of events, including upcoming closures, can be found on the Programs & Events tab on our website. We invite you to discover programs and resources to encourage a love of reading every day during National Reading Month. What will you read this month?
