Thankful Edition

There's a lot to celebrate in November. We extended our thanks to our veterans on November 11, reflect on what we're grateful for as we approach Thanksgiving, and celebrate Native American heritage all month long. And what is the library grateful for? Our wonderful members, of course! Thank you for being part of the library community. Happy reading!
