Librarian's Corner

Have you seen our New Look?

We’re delighted to be open again in a newly renovated Library! Be sure to visit and take a look at our new floors, new colors – and new books!

We’ve got lots of festive events planned as the holiday season gets underway. Our Small Works Exhibition Fundraiser kicks off on Friday, November 15 at our Opening Reception from 6 – 8. Stop in to enjoy complimentary refreshments and live music from the talented student musicians at Lewis Mills while you view the show.

Teens are invited to a Holiday Crafting Session on November 13th to make no-cook pet treats and reindeer food. Kids are invited to go on a Giving Thanks Scavenger Hunt beginning November 20th. And November isn’t just the month of Thanksgiving – it’s also National Dinosaur Month! Celebrate at Dino Bingo Night with games, activities and crafts.

The holiday season also means it’s almost time for our Annual Holiday Open House & Craft Sale on Saturday, December 7th. Are you a crafter or maker? Please consider donating some of your handiwork to our sale. Donations can be dropped off during Library hours – and all proceeds benefit the Library!
