Take a Virtual Tour of Our Libraries POP QUIZ: Do you know which SCCLD libraries are located next to orchards? Or, which library has a historical site incorporated into its layout? Could you guess which library is the largest, or the newest?
We invite you to take virtual tours of our libraries! Here you will learn the history and discover unique facts about our libraries, and the Bookmobile in short 2-3 minute videos. You’ll also meet our Community Librarians and staff who strive to offer you and your family the best service.
Perhaps you’ve never had a chance to explore your local library’s resources and services. Most likely, you’ll learn something new and have another reason to stop by for a visit!
We hope this encourages you to check out all of our libraries in person. Find out which library has a 16-foot salt-water aquarium, and which one has a historic book character mural.
Discovery starts here! |

Sheryl will be using acrylic paints, but use whatever you have on hand, like watercolors or pastels. You’ll also need brushes, canvas, paper towels and a cup of water. |
