WHAT'S NEW

White Table Clock and Books on Bookshelf

Construction and Curbside

We are finishing Phase 2 of the construction on May 31st. We will begin Phase 3 on June 1st. For the first 3 weeks of Phase 3 the library will be closed to the public as we have to move all the books from their current location to the new side of the library. Once that is done we will be starting curbside service on June 23rd. 

Check the library website for updates!

Whitewater Community Foundation Community Action Grant

The library was awarded a Whitewater Community Foundation Community Action Grant of $4,500.00 for an AWE Literacy Station.  AWE Learning provides literacy-focused digital learning solutions for early learners in public libraries.  AWE’s mission is to inspire an enthusiasm for learning by supporting school readiness and literacy in the community.  AWE Learning excels at providing fun and interactive learning to set children on the path for success beginning at a young age.
