Hello, and Happy Friday!


Thank you for being patient with us throughout the week regarding our heating system. We are doing our best to open for as many hours as possible, given the constraints of the building temperatures.


In the meantime, the library is still up and running to serve our community members, so stop in. If you'd prefer to stay home, our online resources are always available to you.

We've moved our magazine selection!


You can now find all our magazines in front of the reference desk next to our cookbooks. This allows for easier browsing as they are located on one shelf (instead of multiple like before).
