Hello and Happy Spring! It's the season of NEW around the library: you will notice a lot of new staffers, new library materials, new events and, soon, new services. By summer we will offer mobile printing and more open hours. Our pre-school story times are so popular we've added a new one on Wednesdays. A new event for teens is launching. Our staff is going to be out and about in the community more often with our bookmobile, and Summer Reading for all-ages is coming up in June. If you have missed going to events for adults, don't miss the survey to tell us what events you would like. Come in to see what's happening & read on for more about the NEW!
