Hello South Country Community,
Adults, join our teens for the Broadway at the Library series. This month, we're watching Into the Woods.
Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 6.
Remember to "fall back" -- set your clocks back by one hour.
We will be closed Friday, November 11, for Veterans Day.

P.S. Save the date! Our Holiday Green Screen Photos will be on Saturday, December 3, from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

Supplies are extremely low in our Give or Take Food Pantry
We are down to a handful of items.
We will very gratefully accept donations in the bin in our lobby. Please help us help your neighbors in need with non-perishable food to help re-stock the pantry. Thank you for your generosity!
|
|
|
We are struggling to replenish our shelves.
When we are able, our Give and Take Food Pantry provides food items for those in need, in the lobby anytime the library is open.
