Hello, and Happy Friday!


It's the first three-day weekend of the year!


Here are some ideas of what you could do


1. Learn a new recipe by checking out one of our cookbooks

2. Start a new hobby using a Thingdom item

3. Watch an ample amount of movies or TV by accessing Hoopla and Kanopy using your library card

The possibilities are endless! And the great thing is, you have access to this 365 days a year!


Please note we will be closed Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
