News & Announcements:
*** The Library will be closed on Monday, September 3rd for Labor Day ***
The library is looking for teens and tweens (ages 12-18) who want to contribute to the library and their community by being a part of our Teen Advisory Group. A Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is a group who volunteers their time to help shape library services and events designed for teens. It is a great way to meet new friends and get some community service done while having fun.
