A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

The newsletter is back, thanks to our new Information Services Librarian, Aubri Skaggs-Brads!  Aubri has been working with us part time for about two years, which really enabled her to hit the ground running. Now that she's finishing up her graduate program, we get to see her more! 


We also have several new faces, and more coming soon!  Come by to meet them!
I want to thank all our veterans both living and deceased, who have served our country both home and abroad. The Libraries will be closed on Veterans Day, November 11th, and Thanksgiving and the Friday after, November 28th and 29th.


Speaking of November 29th, that means time to complete our 24 in 24 Reading Challenge has dwindled to about two months.  Come by to get some books or read some ebooks on Libby!

Director, Everett Public Libraries
