We are now open limited hours, with limited capacity. Regular cleaning and social distancing are key reasons we are able to reopen; you should be familiar with our social distancing policy before coming to the library.
Do you have questions about how we're handling things since we've reopened? Are you wondering about summer reading? Get your answers all in one place!
Summer Learning Program for children and teens begins June 15!
We have an awesome new logging platform called BEANSTACK! You or your child can log reading minutes online and complete challenges for virtual badges! Go to Beanstack to register! (This Beanstack link will be live on June 15!)
Each week we'll have a guessing jar, a writing contest and a Lego challenge! We'll have takeaway crafts and S.T.E.A.M bags "to-go" for children and teens. Virtual storytimes on Zoom, and Family Night performers on Facebook LIVE and Zoom! **Register for Zoom performers and Zoom Storytimes by calling 335-5151 ext. 5246.
Our social distancing policy is still in effect! Please cover your face if you can, keep your visits brief, and limit the number of people in your group as much as possible. Thank you for helping keep our staff and our community safe!
Adults, you can enjoy summer reading fun too! Read as many books as you would like and enter in for prizes.
